"ko" appears to be a copy/paste of "kon" #3

It appears that ko is wrong. It shows the modifier part of speech as the same as kon. According to http://tokipona.net/tp/janpije/dictionary.php (and other places, but I don't recall which), ko is a noun that means clay, clinging form, dough, semi-solid, paste, powder, which is what I had understood it to be.

  {
    "word":"ko",
    "meanings":[
      [
        "mod",
        "air-like, ethereal, gaseous"
      ]
    ]
  },
  {
    "word":"kon",
    "meanings":[
      [
        "n",
        "air, wind, odour, soul"
      ],
      [
        "mod",
        "air-like, ethereal, gaseous"
      ]
    ]
  },

Thanks for pointing it out. The meaning of “ko” will be changed as it appears in Toki Pona - The Simplest Language in the World by Robert Warnke (2019):

noun: semi-solid or squishy substance; clay, dough, glue, paste, powder, gum verb transitive: to squash, to pulverize
