In addition to suggestions by Wes and others, you might like to look at
one of the "Analytical" Lexicons (e.g. the one by William Mounce).
In an Analytical Lexicon words are listed as their inflected forms. So
--to pick a simple example-- one could look up hUMEIS and be pointed back
to the root SU.
Now, as many folks pointed out, the use of such tools --especially by a
beginner-- pose a real danger of becoming a crutch. However, that said, an
AL is _very_ handy for parsing out irregular forms, particularly for
someone who is working without a teacher.
