An excellent opportunity to point out that my lexicon is actually a community lexicon which I moderate. I began with a seed lexicon referencing the Perseus site, but many corrections were made to it through people just like you. All you have to do is click on a word which is showing an incorrect lexical entry, click on the "fix" button, and submit a more proper entry (not just a gloss for that passage). It will be corrected and on the site promptly :)
As for those particular words...I agree that they are _way_ off and would love them to be fixed. Perhaps you could log back in and contribute the new entry?
For those interested, there are several new features on the site since it's launch last week.

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.
