This looks like a great tool. I see you can do infinitive -> conjugation: conjugator comer first pronouns present- but can you do the opposite? conjugator come first pronouns present -> outputs "como"?

That's not so easy to do. There are many endings that are used in different verbs, moods, tenses, persons, etc. For example, the suffix "o" is used in the indicative present first person singular form for all verb types, ir, er, and ar. Exceptions are easier to figure out, because there is an explicit list of them, but if you had a regular verb ending in "o", it is hard to tell if the infinitive form is an ir, ar, or er verb.

I guess if you had an exhaustive list of all infinitive forms, then you could tell...
