There are several "obvious errors" in the gismu list.  But changes to 
the baseline gismu list are out of order at this time.  (Robin of course 
has the power to override that, but no one else should be changing the 
formal baseline pages for any reason).

I used to make such changes as were pointed out to me, and people 
strongly objected.  Baselines are NOT to be changed informally.  A set 
of changes with justification for each (ideally with usage examples from 
the corpus) would seem to be the minimum required.

I thought that there were wiki pages collecting typos and errors of this 
kind for consideration when such becomes appropriate.
