MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Inflections issue in my custom dictionary

3QVKwyNT9hR849t7 · 07-18-2018, 06:35 PM

So, my scripts currently generate this file

https://haste.rys.pw/aguratifiv.xml (manually cleaned up - https://haste.rys.pw/jepefonuno.xml )

This dictionary has only two words, ditt and din.

----------------------------------
Inflections:
din: di, ditt, dine

Definitions:
din: your, yours
ditt: neuter singular of din
----------------------------------

Now, when I run this through Kindlegen and put it on my Kindle, holding on a word "din" correctly shows the entry for din "your, yours".

Holding on ditt however only shows the entry for ditt only. I'd expect it'd show both din and ditt. Removing the ditt definition makes it then pick up on din.

So my question is - how do I format this so kindle shows them both without adding a clone definition per every single inflection of every word in my dictionary?

Keep in mind this is a test case, so telling me that having an inflection of a word defined as a direct entry is stupid. I know. I still want to show both.

EDIT: seems like this has been an issue for a long time but can't find a solution/decent_workaround
