Some definitions are synonymous. E.g. {pu = fi'o se purci} so that you can immediately use the expanded definition instead of the word itself. This can be e.g. useful for the future mlismu dictionary that will exceed Natural Semantic Metalanguage, WordNet, FrameNet and similar projects in its level of the formalisation of the language.

However, some definitions are descriptive. Compare:
https://jbovlaste.lojban.org/dict/ca'a

ca'a = fi'o jai fatci (synonymous, whether the {fatci} expansion is correct isn't discussed here)
ca'a - sumtcita lo ka va'o ce'u ce'u cazyfau (descriptive definition)

One can say
zo ca'a dunli lo'u fi'o jai fatci le'ui zo ca'a ba'e cu sumtcita lo ka va'o ce'u ce'u cazyfau

It'd be nice if the two types of definitions were explicitly differentiated in JVS 2.0
