The StarDict input formats are indeed poorly documented, but StarDict does support inflections.

Since you're probably still fully convinced that I'm wrong, please find attached a small English-French proof-of-concept dictionary with four entries and inflections.
It'll find the singular and plural forms of mouse and louse and the conjugated verb forms of bring and catch. The .babylon source file is included.

No I don't, since I've successfully created several StarDict dictionaries with inflections myself. BTW, StarDict was designed in part as a Babylon clone and supports many of its features, including inflections. However, you're correct in that it doesn't employ linguistic compression, which is used by Kindle dictionaries.
