i am trying to create a Turkish ->English dictionary with the look up feature and i have implemented the generation of noun inflections and working with the verbs now.

BUT i ran into a problem with my Kindle Touch. when I loaded my dictionary into Kindle, for some words it shows the translations just perfectly when I tap them, but for others it just flashes and displays nothing, not even "No Definition Found" window!

e.g. when I tap "gerçekliğe" it shows me the basic form "gerçeklik",
but when I tap "hastalığın" it shows nothing, even though my dictionary does list this form in the <idx:iform> tag

it seems like it works badly with words which contains "ı" (dotless i) in them, but not only. how do I deal with this issue? those of you guys who implemented inflections, did you have to deal with the special symbols? please help
