Creating a russian romanian dictionary

I recently bought my first e-book reader (Kindle PW 12). For the past week I tried to create a russian romanian dictionary for Kindle paperwhite 12 that works with on tap lookup. I tihink I tried everything (creating opf + xhtml files and converting using kindlegen from KP3, claude.ai, converting through mobipocket creator) nothing works. I think it is from the cyrillic, but I am not sure as I have a russian english .mobi dictionary that works. My dictionaries are in .txt files (tab separated), .mdx files, .ifo file and .dsl.dz file. What format should the dictionary be because I saw that Abby Lingvo Russian English is in .azw, but the most used is .mobi. Can someone explain me what can I do to create a working ru-ro dictionary?

I tried, it doesn't work. Well, it creates the .mobi file but the on tap search does not work. It says: no definition found. I attached the .mdx file. Can you try to convert and check if it works?

I tried it, too, and it worked fine when I compiled the source files that pyGlossary generated with KindleGen, which you can find in the following folders if Kindle Previewer is installed on your machine:

Code:
Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Amazon\Kindle Previewer 3\lib\fc\bin\kindlegen.exe
macOS: /Applications/Kindle Previewer 3.app/Contents/lib/fc/bin/kindlegen
Since the .mdx file doesn't contain inflections, inflected word forms won't be found. For example, it'll find книга but it won't find книгу.
