   Inflection
   In grammar, `inflection` or `inflexion` is the modification or marking of a word (or more precisely lexeme) to reflect grammatical (that is, relational) information, such as gender, tense, number or person. The concept of a `word` independent of the different inflections is called a lexeme, and the form of a word that is considered to have no or minimal inflection is called a lemma.
