As luck would have it there is a lemma list for use with WordSmith Tools,
kindly supplied by "SOMEYA, Yasumasa" <ysomeya@gol.com> and downloadable as
of the last few days from the website addresses below. The format is not
exactly what you ask for: it's
abandon -> abandons,abandonment,abandoned
etc. but it may be helpful. I think Yasumasa may update it but write to him
if you need more.
Best wishes -- Mike
