Well, yes and no.

Or course, one can say that a chair is something to sit on, but when
the language is specified in such a way that a chair is encoded as a
"to-sit-on-thing" in its morphology itself, a big part of the
definition process is automatized and thus, "silly".

Remains only the pragmatic import, not the semantic one.

So that a lojban encyclopedia makes sense, but not really a lojban dictiona=
ry.
