  • I know how it is encoded in the dictionary, that's easy, I included sample code in my original post :-) I just don't know how the Kindle displays the encoding.
  • drunk is the past participle of drink eg. the milk was drunk. For "sing", the past participle is "sung". And so on.

(The reason I posted my question is that I am thinking of creating a dictionary for a language in which identical inflections are more common than in English, but if the Kindle can't display multiple <idx:entry> elements at the same time then there's not much point in putting in the effort of creating the dictionary)
