hm, those are not our primary interest yet, and a problem could be that
the way grammatically derived forms are listed is not standardized,
sometimes there is a special templates used (latin, for example "manus":
{{la-decl-4th|man}} ) sometimes they are on special Pages (for example
in german wiktionary the page "winken_(Konjugation)"). most pages dont
explicity list such forms. they could be generated... it could be hard
to be complete there.
