ruby vocabulary library

Question

Is there a vocabulary library that can recognize different forms as one word? Like this:

Built, Builds, Building  => Build
Ate, Eaten, Eats, Eating => Eat
Tables                   => Table

I checked this library, it doesn't recognize the words 'ate' and 'eaten'. Are you sure that library work? – megas Mar 10 '12 at 12:23
No I'm not sure, I've never used it... but I'm not aware of any other stemming libraries in Ruby – Mark Baker Mar 10 '12 at 18:20

This one isn't specifically, for Ruby, but the Wordlists project has a dictionary called 2of12inf, which includes these different forms (inflections) of words.
