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.
