OK, so that's why you mention the different files for each letter of
the alphabet.

I'm still a bit confused.  Normally an index would indicate a location
for an indexed term  That's what I assume your general index files are
doing.  What are the key terms like in this index, and what do they
point to?  Can you give us some examples?

To my confused and befuddled mind, it sounds like you are wanting to
create an index of the index.  That can't be right :-)

I'm no expert in search algorithms.  I have been hoping someone else
would jump in who has done this kind of thing before.

Are you wanting a pure, rev-only solution i.e. are you doing this to
demonstrate what can be done using Rev alone?
