It's an obvious error.

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.
