lttoolbox

<dictionary>
  <sdefs>
    <sdef n="n"/>
    <sdef n="pl"/>
    <sdef n="sg"/>
  </sdefs>
  <pardefs> 
    <pardef n="RegNounInfl">
      <e><p><l/><r><s n="n"/><s n="sg"/></r></p></e>
      <e><p><l>s</l><r><s n="n"/><s n="pl"/></r></p></e>
    </pardef>
  </pardefs>
  <section id="root" type="standard">
    <e lm="cat"><i>cat</i><par n="RegNounInfl"/></e> <!-- A noun -->
  </section>
</dictionary>

And to compile and use this dictionary:

$ lt-comp lr test.dix test.bin
root@standard 7 7

$ echo "cat" | lt-proc test.bin
^cat/cat<n><sg>$

$ echo "cats" | lt-proc test.bin
^cats/cat<n><pl>$

$ echo "cat" | hfst-lookup test.hfst 
cat	cat+N+Sg

$ echo "cats" | hfst-lookup test.hfst 
cats	cat+N+Pl
