My reply assumed lemmatization (or stemming), so that all the inflected 
forms of a given verb lexeme would be conflated.  That's why I referred 
to "lemmas" instead of "words."

There is of course a chicken-and-egg problem with lemmatization: you 
have to build a morphological parser before you can lemmatize, and you 
need a dictionary before you can build a real morphological parser.  In 
practice, I suppose most people build both iteratively.  A stemmer is of 
course easier to build, but likely to be less precise, and doesn't 
"know" about irregular words.
