Something has gone wrong with the partitioning of cmavo into BPFK sections.

I see "pau (nai)" and "bi'u (nai)" both in this section and in BPFK Section: Discursives. There may be more.

We have top come up with some sensible partitioning before voting.

I noticed only those two too.

In the cmavo lists they appear as UI3a, so in theory they would belong
here, but since your section comes first for voting we might leave them
there.

I have now removed them from this section.

Since you have "Proposed Definition" as the headline, do you intend to not write keywords for these cmavo?

I had no intentions one way or the other, actually. :-)
Now I have added them.

What are the keywords for anyway? They should obviously not be
part of a Lojban->English dictionary. They can be helpful in the
production of an English->Lojban one, but they can't be automatically
turned into one.

Why not?

Because we wouldn't (at least I wouldn't) want an entry in an English->Lojban
dictionary for "indirect question", for example.

Under the headword "what", I would expect to find both "ma" and "ma kau",
with suitable explanations (as well as "ki'a", "ke'o", etc.)

Or perhaps I shouldn't have "indirect question" as the keyword for "kau",
but there doesn't seem to be anything in English that will serve as a
_translation_ of "kau". I can only give a description.
