I don't know if that was intended but the 'break' kicks you out of

        for word_type, pattern in cases.items():

I added a little debugging to show the cases iteration and commented out
the break.  'noun' has five lines and appears to be correct. 'verb' has
two lines, neither of which match the if/else.  The others aren't in the
return from  https://api.wikimedia.org/core/v1/wiktionary/en/page/table.

I have to admit I sometimes miss C where I can bounce between curlies.
