How to get inflections for a word using Wordnet

Question

I want to get inflected forms for a word using Wordnet.

eg. If the word make , then its excesses

 made, makes, making

I tried all the options of the wn command, but I did not get excesses for the word.

Any idea how to get them?

I'm not sure the phrase was for words. I just found this little entry about how WordNet (R) uses the Morphy algorithm to make a morphological definition of the leading term associated with the modified form https://github.com/jdee/dubsar/wiki/Inflections . I needed a bit of kinks for my (Python) project a little back, and I used https://github.com/pwdyson/inflect.py and https://bitbucket.org/cnu/montylingua3/overview/ (some hacking is also required take a look at the original http://web.media.mit.edu/~hugo/montylingua/ )
