I'm not sure if the problem is two word combos. At least in this example the problem seems to arise because of l'accent circonflexe above the e in bête. If you had a text where the expression was spelled "bete noire," you could highlight both words with Kobo and you would get the correct definition from the stock English dictionary. Of course the preferred and correct way would be to include the diacritic, so I guess the stock dictionary isn't as good as Kindle).
