Singularization function for English words in bash

Any pointers to a bash function that performs singularization on English words? It does not need to be perfect.

If you need to cover both nouns and verbs, and/or the imperfect solutions turn out to be too imperfect then forget Bash and look into tools for morphological analysis and disambiguation.

Imperfect one would be ${word%s}.
