Use case or problem
Some languages have multiple word forms, which makes it harder to add aliases to notes.
Take russian for example: a simple word for cat − “кот/кошка” may have multiple forms for different genders, single-plural, and different grammatical cases.
To be able to use that word as alias for backlinks, one would need to add all possible wordforms to the aliases in YAML.

aliases: [ кот, кота, коту, котом, коте, коты, котов, котам, котов, котами, кошка, кошки, кошке, кошку, кошкой, кошки, кошек, кошкам, кошек, кошками, кошках ]
---
For word pairs, like “карта города” it becomes even more tedious, since both words’ forms must be taken into account.
Proposed solution
I believe, the easiest to implement solution is to allow regular expressions inside aliases key.
---
aliases: [ "ко[тш][а-я]*", SomeOtherAlias ]
---
Current workaround (optional)
Either using english-only words, or using sites/scripts to generate all possible word forms.
