I've checked against all the Kobo dictionaries, but don't ask me how.

Um, if you're saying what I think you're saying and you figured it out the way I think you figured it out, then I'm definitely not letting my Kobo get online in case the same information that protects the dictionaries is also used to protect communications, lol.

It's not really feasible to add synonyms to Penelope without either hacky stuff (putting them into the definition field), or a major restructure.

When thinking about general algorithms at high-level, I did consider embedding things in the definition field, although I wasn't sure how to handle merged definitions from other dictionaries that might have a different set of synonyms for the same word (figuring out how to say it in Python however would be a different challenge for me).
But for just going Stardict->Kobo, I almost think it'd be easier to decompile the dictionary into Stardict XML format and then use XSLT to transform the definitions to Kobo format. And I think you'd be able to go in the opposite direction using that method as well. Or maybe something like that ends up being a totally different utility instead.
