Dear Notis,
After waiting to see whether any other list member gave an answer to
your query, I'll kick off with a partial solution.
You no doubt know that the online TLG works very nicely for finding
inflections, if you use the Advanced text-search, with the Wildcard
search-box ticked.
Type in your suffix and a dollar-sign to mark word-end, and then click
on the 'Word Index' search. This will display 500 word-forms with that
inflection, and then, by clicking on 'Full Corpus Counts/Author', you
can check all the results, organised by author.
However, I don't know of a way to have the grammatical analysis done
automatically. You probably know that the wonderful TLG lemma-search can
group case- and tense-forms, but that would not answer your query. In
fact, for the example you give, -EAS, I don't see how a part-of-speech
analysis could work, since ancient Greek dictionaries don't distinguish
nouns from adjectives. Buck-Petersen's 'Reverse Index' does try to
distinguish them formally, but for many words one needs to examine each
attestation to discover whether it's used as an adjective or noun.
Best,
Bruce.
