That, I think, is the major drawback of the site- though I do believe the
site owner intends to include a fuller lexicon at some point. As to your
verse and its use of oti, I take it as an untranslated "quotation
mark". In this case it simply shows that what follows is a citation from a
known (at least to them) source. Hence the verse would read something like
"Don't be amazed about this, 'an hour is coming' , in which etc.
And yeah, the way he has krinw translated is just odd.
