I eventually managed to produce a dictionary that works as a look-up!

The file is quite large at about 70MB. I wonder if there's anything I could do to reduce its size. Any suggestions?

Is there an open source mono-lingual look-up dictionary in html/xhtml format that I could look at? My only source so far is Amazon's Create a Dictionary page. Thanks!

It turns out that "ca" and "cat" are both valid codes for "Catalan". One is an ISO 639-2 code the other is an ISO 639-3 code. Not sure what exactly was going wrong in my earlier attempts. I still need to properly code "inflections" and clean a few things up, but that may have to wait the upcoming second covid lockdown.
