How kindle matches when a word is looked up in a dictionlary

I just moved to this post to "Kindle Formats". But don't know how to obsolete this one.

---------------------
Hello,

Today, I unpacked an embedded kindle dictionary via KindleUnpack,
found there was no idx:entry for the word "carefully", and there was also no idx:iform in the idx:entry of "careful".

I'm curious how the word “carefully" can be matched by the embedded kindle dictionary?


Here is the idx:entry for the word "careful" in the embedded kindle dictionary.
Code:
<idx:entry scriptable="yes">
  <idx:orth value="careful">
    <idx:infl>
      <idx:iform name="" value="carefuller" />
      <idx:iform name="" value="carefullest" />
    </idx:infl>
  </idx:orth>
  <i>adjective</i>
  <b>carefuler</b>; <b>carefullest</b>
  <div align="left">
    <b>1</b>
    : using or taking care <br />
    <b>2</b>
    : marked by solicitude, caution, or prudence
  </div>
  <div align="left"> <b>carefully</b>
    <i>adverb</i>
  </div>
</idx:entry>
I tried to create a simple dictionary by myself with a idx:entry above(packed it via PocketMobi creator). But the word "carefully" could not be matched by my dictionary.

Could anyone share any experiences on this?
