Nodes seem a good idea.

Later, we could group all 'verb' POS into one kind of node, and distinguish them
with one or several attributes ...
So that we can get easily :
- all verbs
- all ichidan verbs
- all godan verbs
Well, of course, this can also be done by post-processing current POSes, so
it's not that important :)
