How do you prevent headword-inflected form conflict in a Kindle dictionary?

I've created a dictionary and when I look up a word that is a headword and at the same time an inflected form of another headword, only the former shows up due to conflict and the latter won't show up. How can I prevent it?

For example if I look up "saw" in the dictionary, "see(perceive with the eyes)" headword will be ignored even though I have provided "saw" as an inflection of "see", and "saw(a hand tool for cutting wood or other materials)" will show up.

How can I make sure that both meanings can be looked up? I used <idx:infl> tags for inflected forms, here:

Code:
<idx:entry name="word" scriptable="yes" spell="yes">
	<b><idx:orth>see
	<idx:infl>
		<idx:iform value="saw"/>
	</idx:infl>
	</idx:orth> </b> 
	<i>verb</i> <br/>
	perceive with the "eyes
	</idx:entry>
<br/><br/>
<hr/>
	
	<idx:entry name="word" scriptable="yes" spell="yes">
	<b><idx:orth>saw
	<idx:infl>
		<idx:iform value="saw"/>
	</idx:infl>
	</idx:orth> </b> 
	<i>noun</i> <br/>
	a tool used to cut wood
		
</idx:entry>
<br/><br/>
