As Evwool said : you can start highlighting a word, don't click to end highlighting instead open the keyboard, and your word is pasted in the text box. If you can retrieve the basic form of the word by just deleting characters from the original word, you can do it there, and from there you can search the edited word on the dictionary.
I was excited about this even though it needs far more clicks than I'd like. But then I came across what I suppose to be a bug: The dictionary used in this method is the Oxford English Dictionary (the default for the english language), even though the language of the book is correctly set to greek and the greek dictionary is correctly opened in the few cases that it can find the words I want to look up in the straightforward way.
