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.
