BUG: Even with the nifty documentation I don't understand "adjective satellite"

Okay, right click Context Menu ... Bible Sense Lexicon entry ... tagged "adjective satellite" a category I can't find anywhere.  The closest I can find is ...

Adjective relationships:

• "Similar to": The "similar to" relation is between two or more adjective senses that cluster closely together; for example, "righteous is similar to good (moral)."

• Antonym: The antonym relation is one of opposition, generally, between two adjective senses, though it can apply to other parts of speech; for example, "righteous as opposed to unrighteous."

Thompson, Jeremy. Bible Sense Lexicon: Dataset Documentation. Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2015.

So what is "adjective satellite" supposed to tell me in this example?

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Okay, this is an error in our part of speech information. "Adjective satellite" is something that sneaked (snuck - have the language mavens decided on that one yet?) into the BSL through WordNet. It should just read "adjective" there. I think I know how to fix this, but it seems almost too easy, so if it's not in the next update, it may involve more steps than I initially thought.

    I think it means it orbits an adjective.

    This should be fixed in 6.9.
