I was tired, so I just had the focus to ponder some of the conlanging software design, and I'm worried that I'm taking things in an excessively complicated direction, but then again, languages often get complicated.
Basically, there are different kinds of taxonomy that words can fit into. We can consider the ending of verbs in Spanish, for example, or the animacy of nouns in Spanish. The former case influences the realization of different conjugations, while the latter case influences inflection for gender. Back to verbs, stuff like tense can affect what a verb conjugates for.
What I'm trying to figure out is a non-onerous means of representing this stuff in the source file. I'll see if something occurs to me soon, but if not, I'll have to switch gears.
For now, though, I'm going to wind down.
Good night.
