Good evening, M. Markismus,

Well, I've read your message and it is written in the king's english but my brain has shorted out trying to understand what you are saying.

But, first things first. Pyglossary gave me these files; .idx,.ifo,.dict, and .syn. I installed these files in a folder named GrandL and installed the folder on my kobo in koreader.

I did a word look-up and the dicitonary did not give back the word. Tried several common words and it was no-go, nada.

I noticed that in my other stardict dictionary folders the .dict file is actually *.dict.dz. There isn't any .dict file but all the dictionaries have the .dict.dz ending.

Is this the reason that the words are not found or is the answer found in your last response?

I would be unable to do what you suggest to do in your last message; way above my expertise.

I thought, at least, that the csv file conversion would get me "through the door" and I'd have a stardict dictionary-not perfect-but serviceable.

You mention not searching for keywords; do you mean "headwords"? If that is the case, than I won't find any words! If that is the case, what has all this work that you helped me with accomplished?

Please let me know about this .dict.dz file; it seems that should be among the stardict files for the word look-up.

One more thing; bizarrely, my koreader lists this dictionary as output4.csv. But the folder I installed containing the stardict files is called GrandL; output4.csv was not installed.

Bizarre.

cordially,
pz
