From what I see, the file "words" contains only the words stored in the dictionary (the "keys"), in several variants --- e.g., singular/plural for the Italian one.
Hence, file "words" can be used only to know whether a query word is present in the dictionary or not.
I think that the kobo software checks whether a word is present, then it matches the word with the chunk, and then it performs a full text search in the chunck to locate the beginning of the definition for the query word.
(quite inefficient process, in my opinion)
