The markup for a dictionary is documented in the Kindle Publishing Guidelines that I mentioned previously. You can see it in the working dictionary. It may be possible to do something automatic to reformat your existing dictionary if you can parse out the words, definitions, inflections, etc. Or you might have to manually mark it up manually word by word. It’s a tough problem.
