In practice I would probably just build a map, word : #setofsynonyms and whenever a synonym was added [a b], I would add b to a's set and a to b's set.
Or, even more likely, a vector, because "a" is probably a homonym (if we're talking English) and if "a" is "bank", I need one set of synonyms for "places to put your money" and another set for "the side of a river" and another set for "to hit [an object] off a wall or other barrier". Unless you have some other annotation besides the word so that you can distinguish "bank[1]" from "bank[2]" and "bank[3]".
