N-gram counts: common inflections

["Adam Nohejl" <adam@***********>]

First, thank you so much for making Japanese n-gram search available - 
it's a great resource!

I've been wondering though what's the rationale for "common verb 
inflections"?

Clearly, many common inflections/suffixes (causative, "-ō/-yō" 
volitional, "-(i)tai" desiderative, or just the simple adverbal 
form/連用形) are omitted, while some rather less common 
("-(i)masen'nara") are included.

I would find it very useful to be able to search for the complete 
inflections (in the narrow sense, i.e. forms of the first token) of 
pentagrade (五段) verbs, e.g. 
言わ・言い・言っ・言う・言え・言お, without necessarily 
adding suffixes to them (particles, auxiliary verbs etc.). This way one 
could easily count occurrences of all forms of a verb.
