Don't repeat yourself[1]
Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a discourse. Don't copy fragments of your discourse. Instead try to go to higher levels of abstraction to avoid that. Instead of
| mi do prami .ije do mi prami I love you, and you love me. |
say
| mi do se xi vei pa je re prami I love you, and vice versa. |
This allows for more tricky examples to be expressed using the same algorithm:
| mi do se xi vei pa jonai re prami Either I love you, or you love me, but not both. |
etc.
