WordNet maintains a list of irregular word forms in the noun.exc,
verb.exc, adj.exc, and adv.exc files.  The library you're using may or
may not provide access to these.  But note that the exc files themselves
are just simple text files which pair a base and irregularly inflected
form; they don't provide any information on what the irregular forms are
for (e.g., plural, past participle, etc.).  And AFAIK WordNet itself
doesn't provide regular inflections (which you can generate with a
rule-based system).

Regards,
Tristan
