You mean a pdf dictionary?

That almost always means that someone fucked up a definition; what
you do is download the .tex and run pdflatex against it.  In this
case:

! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>
                $
l.2637 ... $p_1$ uses Lojban for purpose $p_2; $p_
                                                  1$ is a Lojbanist.

which turns out to be from jbopli.

Still broken.  Next problem:

! Undefined control sequence.
\reserved@a ->\@nil

l.13250 ... expression/\linebreak[0]communication}
                                                   jbobau, place 3

Seems LaTeX doesn't like "Lojban expression/communication" as the
3rd place keyword for jbobau.

Had to go into the database manually for that one.

If I understand what you're saying, yes.
