How big was your source document?

Your source and desired output don't match (e.g. no "microwave" in source), so it's bit hard to see how it should work.

<xsl:key name="entries-by-index" match="index" use="."/>

<xsl:template match="LexicalDatabase">
  <IndexList>
    <xsl:for-each select="*/sense/index[generate-id() = generate-id(key('entries-by-index', .)]">
      <xsl:sort select="." data-type="text"/>
      <IndexItem value="{.}">
        <xsl:for-each select="key('entries-by-index', .)/../../base">
          <entry base="{.}" baseHom=""/>
        </xsl:for-each>
      </IndexItem>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </IndexList>
</xsl:template>

Will get you somewhere, but I didn't understand where the value of baseHom comes from.
