+.I bsize
 defines the hash table bucket size, and is, by default, 256 bytes.
 It may be preferable to increase the page size for disk-resident tables
 and tables with large data items.
 .TP
-ffactor
-.I Ffactor
+.I ffactor
 indicates a desired density within the hash table.
 It is an approximation of the number of keys allowed to accumulate in any
 one bucket, determining when the hash table grows or shrinks.
 The default value is 8.
 .TP
-nelem
-.I Nelem
+.I nelem
 is an estimate of the final size of the hash table.
 If not set or set too low, hash tables will expand gracefully as keys
 are entered, although a slight performance degradation may be noticed.
 The default value is 1.
