I was indeed referring to .syn files, which the KOReader StarDict engine doesn't support.

AFAIK, there are no cross-platform Open Source dictionary engines that support defining POS-based morphology rules.
Having to define all forms for each entry may seem like a rather primitive method, but it works surprisingly well.

BTW, If you want to add inflections to your own StarDict dictionary, you might find Tvangeste's inflection word lists for English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish and Russian helpful.
