That would be useful to those who already have a reasonably large
Lojban vocabulary. It would be more useful if you use only a small
set of words for definitions, then one could use the dictionary
without already knowing most of them.

Here's an interesting puzzle: Given a Lojban dictionary in Lojban,
make up semantics for the words so that the definitions make sense.
(Assume that you know the grammar, but no gismu.)
