Converting an AZW dictionary to MOBI = no longer treated as a dictionary by Kindle

I have a dictionary in AZW format which works fine on my Kindle. I now want to make some changes to the dictionary definitions and then reupload it to my Kindle.

Problem is, when I try to edit the AZW in Calibre, it says

Quote:
ERROR: Cannot Edit Book: The book must be in the EPUB or AZW3 formats to edit. First convert the book to one of these formats.
OK, so I convert it to EPUB, make the necessary changes to the definitions, save it, then convert it back to MOBI and send it to my Kindle, but it is listed as a document, not a dictionary.

Does anyone know what META tags I need to edit so that Kindle will treat the MOBI file as a dictionary?
