    So you want to go from Spende to Spende+genitive to Beitrag+genitive to Beitrags. In addition to Spacy etc. you might look at Finite State Transducers, which I believe are bidirectional, i.e. for both analysis and generation. XFST and SFST and OpenFST are a few of the FST toolkits. See https://github.com/hfst/hfst for the Helsinki FST; there's a German transducer for it at https://sourceforge.net/projects/hfst/files/resources/morphological-transducers/hfst-german-installable.tar.gz/download. I don't think there is much of a learning curve, and there should be plenty of documentation.

    The regex syntax is a bit quirky due to backwards compatibility with lexicons written in XFST, see https://github.com/hfst/hfst/wiki/Regular-Expression-Operato...
