The Kindle doesn't support Russian or Arabic dictionaries, but Mobipocket Reader definitely supports Arabic inflections. (It doesn't support LTR for more than one word, though)
I just did a test on my Kindle Keyboard with a simple Turkish dictionary with 2 entries with inflections and didn't have problems looking up inflections containing the dotless i.
Make sure that your .html source files are utf-8 files with a byte order mark and that the output format is also defined as utf-8 in the .opf file.
Code:
<output encoding="utf-8">
If both source .html files and output encoding are set to utf-8, and your inflections are properly defined, it's a Kindle Touch bug.
You can test your dictionary with Mobipocket Reader.
EDIT: K3 and higher now support Arabic and Russian dictionaries. However, Arabic dictionaries don't support RTL for multi-word entries.
