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: dutso [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental gismu (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: clockwise in the sense of "angular/curling direction"
  Definition: x1 is clockwise/right-turn-direction of[/to] x2 along/following
       track x3 [path] in frame of reference x4 (where the axis is
       within the region defined by the track as the boundary, as
       viewed from and defined by view(er) x4; see notes); x1 is
       locally to the right of x2, according to x4, constrained along
       x3; x1 is along a right turn from x2 along path x3, as viewed
       in frame x4.
       Notes: Angular/curling direction: clockwise. he orientation of the
       path determines x4 but does not factor into consideration for
       x3. Further glosses: clockwise, locally rightward,
       right-turning (with no bulk translation) in a way that would be
       characterized as "negative" by the right-hand rule (aligned
       with and in the direction of a basis vector, at least for a
       given component). x1 is left-handedly/clockwise(ly) oriented
       relative to x2 on/along x3 in frame of reference x4.  x1 is
       left-handed (one sense) from x2 [more accurately: moving from
       x2 to x1 requires a(n imaginary) motion that is left-handed
       about/along x3 as seen in frame/orientation/perspective x4]. x1
       is to the path-following right of x2 (where the path is
       connected; as such, x1 is also be to the path-following left of
       x2, although there is an implication that the former is the
       smaller (or equal-length) path). See also: zucna, du'ei
       (left-handed vectorial cross product), du'oi (modal).
       Proposed short rafsi: -tso-.
