We have three different errors here:

Error 1: the sentence is perfectly grammatical, but the parser you are
using doesn't know it must insert the elidable "ku" after "ki'u". It
should have no problem with .iki'u ku go go'i gi mi zbasu mu'i lo nu
mi birti lo nu mi ba srera jmina.

Error 2: That's obviously not what Luke intended. He wanted either ".i
ki'u lo nu go ..."  or ".i ki'u bo go ..."

Error 3: The "mu'i" term was obviously meant to have wider scope than
just the "zbasu" bridi. Probably ".i mu'i bo mi ..." instead of "mu'i
lo nu mi ..."

To answer the question, AFAIK you can modify the entries you have
created, I'm not sure if you can modify someone else's entries. It
used to be that you couldn't, but maybe now you can, I don't know.
Just try making an inconsequential change to some entry and test it.
