No need to PM. I can say it here. I extracted the definitions from the Kobo dictionary, merged them with the definitions of the other dictionaries, put them into html files, made and index file with marisa, and compressed the whole thing into a new dictionary file. I did this ad hoc, therefore I cannot share a tool chain or give detailed explanations.

Majorix, since you use penelope, the best way for you would be as follows (this is how I understand it from the penelope homepage): Bring all dictionaries you want to combine into one and the same format that penelope understands, and then merge them with penelope.

I have seen how you can do it before you create the dictionaries, using penelope again. But now I have the .zip files and I have seen no example usage of how you merge .zip dictionaries! Can someone help?
On the penelope homepage I see that one feature is "merge more dictionaries (of the same type) into a single dictionary," and among the supported formats "Kobo" is listed. From this it seems that penelope can merge zipped (unencrypted Kobo) dictionaries. How exactly one does this, you have to find out. I guess you can find instructions or samples in the penelope package.
