No, sorry.

As the window that comes up *VERY* *CLEARLY*[1] states, you're supposed
to submit a bug so an admin can change it.  This is so the polysemy of
the keywords in the gismu list can be changed over time as needed,
instead of having to do them all at once.

If we didn't do it this way, the crappy keywords would never get fixed.

"repeat" and "distance" have been fixed; you should be able to enter
your words now.

me and I will fix it.
