How do we go from a spelled form of a lexeme at Wiktionary and to an identifier on Wikidata?
What do you mean by "go to"? And what do you mean by "identifier on Wikidata" - Items, Lexemes, Senses, or Forms?
Generally, Wiktionary currently combines words with the same rendering from different languages on a single page. So a single Wiktionary page would correspond to several Lexeme entries on Wikidata, since Lexemes on wikidata would be split per language.
I suppose a Lexeme-Entry could be linked back to the corresponding pages on the various Wiktionaries, but I don't really see the value of that, and sitelinks are currently not planned for Lexeme entries. It probably makes more sense for the Wiktionary pages to explicitly reference the Wikidata-Lexeme that corresponds to each language-section on the page.
And how do we go from one Sense to another synonym Sense? Do we use statements? But then only the L-identifiers can be used, so we will link them at the Lexeme level..
Why can only L-Identifiers be used? Senses (and Forms) are entities and have identifiers. They wouldn't have a wiki-page of their own, but that's not a problem. The intention is that it's possible for one Sense to have a statement referring directly to another Sense (of the same or a different Lexeme).
Wiktionary is organized around homonyms while Wikipedia is organized around synonyms, especially across languages, and I think this difference creates some of the problems.
The Lexeme-Part of Wikidata (L-ids) would be separate from the Concept-part of Wikidata (Q-ids). The Lexeme part is organized around homonyms (more precisely, homographs in a single language). Each Lexeme can have several "Senses" modeled as "sub-entities", meaning that each Sense has its own set of Statements. Each Sense can be linked to Senses of other Lexemes (explicit synonyms or translations) and to Q-id concepts (implicit synonyms or translations) using Statements.
