Body
Given some (English) word that we shall assume is a plural, is it possible to derive the singular form? I'd like to avoid lookup/dictionary tables if possible. Some examples: <pre> Examples -> Example a simple 's' suffix Glitch -> Glitches 'es' suffix, as opposed to above Countries -> Country 'ies' suffix. Sheep -> Sheep no change: possible fallback for indeterminate values </pre> Or, <a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Irregular_plurals:English" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this seems to be a fairly exhaustive list.</a> Suggestions of libraries in language <code>x</code> are fine, as long as they are open-source (ie, so that someone can examine them to determine how to do it in language <code>y</code>)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
