inflector.Singularize() misbehaves on all words ending with ves

There are only about a dozen special *fe words that convert to *ves when pluralized but there are squillions of *ves words that just drop the s when singularizing.

A list of special cases like elves, knives and thieves can be found here

And a list of words that end in *ves, most of which don't need converting using the special case, can be found here.

As you can see, the special cases are only about a dozen, the regular cases are around 700!
