Reading up on this forum and 3-4 others I came to the conclusion that my options are:
1) Generating .syn file out of the grammar rules from the link above or the .aff file from a Goldendict dictionary
2) Trying to build a command line Goldendict for Kobo and write a plugin for it in koreader
3) Implementing those same rules in .lua wrapper around sdcv and trying to find a closest match from koreader
4) finding a ready-made .syn file for the language - Italian in this case
5) Something else? Kindle was able to do a better job in this department. I mean the native Kindle reader with dictionaries built for it. The Italian-English dictionary was pretty good in this regard. The Italian-Russian was not perfect, but still better than what we have now under koreader. It uses the same initial vocabulary but handles inflections way better. I never tried to install the dictionaries under koreader on kindle
6) Forego all of the above and use manual entry plus a guesswork to arrive at the correct headword

All suggestions and comments are welcome
