For example, "enlarge" should return {tIn} + {-moH}, "shrink" should return 
{mach} + {-moH}, and so on.

For now, this is done by just adding derived entries to the database, such as {tInmoH}, {machmoH}, and {SovmoH}. A long-term solution should use a separate mechanism.

Currently, for example, {machmoHbej} is analysed into {machmoH} (= {mach} + {-moH}) + {-bej}, but {machnISmoH} is only broken up into {mach} + {-nIS} + {-moH} but does not pick up the {machmoH} entry. That is, prefixes and suffixes work, but not "infixes" of the complex or compound entries.

In a future version of boQwI', the ability to do this should be language-independent, in the sense that words like {ghujmoH} and {tlhe'moH} have a different causative in Finnish (unlike English "pivot" or "turn", which would be the same).
