I don't have a manual for Lisa 3.2 but I do have one for Lisa 2.5.
Here is what it says in Appendix C:

ILLEGAL MNEMONIC:
The symbol in the mnemonic field is not a valid LISA mnemonic.
Probable causes: beginning the mnemonic in column one, beginning a
label in other than column one, the mnemonic is missing (perhaps you
forgot to delimit a label with a ":"?), or a simple typo.
