To improve the quality of results, jbovlaste search does not return words with insufficient votes. To qualify to be returned in search results, a proposed lujvo is required to have received a vote in favor in both directions: for instance, in English to Lojban and in Lojban to English.

In addition, due to it being a very technically hard problem, full text searching (that is, searching of definitions rather than just keywords) is not available at this time.

From Lojban to English :

        Word: clenu [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental gismu (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: axis in the sense of "important/central curve"
  Definition: x1 is an axis/center curve/extended center (or, possibly
       metaphorically, focus 'point') of x2 in sense x3
       Notes: For figures of revolution, x3 = "lo ka ce'u srana lo
       jbislanu". For rotation (in which mass is actually moving
       around it), x3 = "lo ka ce'u se carna". For a political axis,
       x3 would be filled with a reference to political importance or
       alliance. This word should probably not be used for coordinate
       systems (coordinate axes), but some construct involving manri
       might be apt for such an idea if used. The axis is the center
       of all considerations being made and is extended.
