Dictionaries and identical inflections

How does the current range of Kindles display entries that have identical inflections?

So, like, if a dictionary containing the code below was on a Kindle, and I highlighted the word "drunk" in a novel, would only the first definition be displayed
Quote:
"drink - take (a liquid) into the mouth and swallow"
or would it display both?
Quote:
"drink - take (a liquid) into the mouth and swallow"
"drunk - a person who is drunk or who habitually drinks to excess"


Code:
<html>
<body>

<idx:entry>
	<b><idx:orth>drink
	<idx:infl>
		<idx:iform value="drinks"/>
		<idx:iform value="drinking"/>
		<idx:iform value="drank"/>
		<idx:iform value="drunk"/>
	</idx:infl>
	</idx:orth> </b> 
	<i>verb</i> <br/>
	take (a liquid) into the mouth and swallow
</idx:entry>
<br/><br/>

<idx:entry>
	<b><idx:orth>drip
	<idx:infl>
		<idx:iform value="drips"/>
	</idx:infl>
	</idx:orth> </b> 
	<i>noun</i> <br/>
	a small drop of a liquid
</idx:entry>
<br/><br/>
<hr/>

<idx:entry>
	<b><idx:orth>drunk
	<idx:infl>
		<idx:iform value="drunks"/>
	</idx:infl>
	</idx:orth> </b> 
	<i>noun</i> <br/>
	a person who is drunk or who habitually drinks to excess
</idx:entry>
