What about with nonlogical connectives? Reciprocity might be useful or at
least interesting in masses, jointness, and "respectively" phrases and
/might might/ be so for sequences and some operations on sets.

"mi do su'ei prami" expands into "mi do prami ije do mi prami" which
breaks "Don't copy yourself" programmer's rule but isn't that
mind-breaking as su'ei or "se xi vei pa e re".

It's better to start from these expansions and at some more readable place
like mriste rather than this forum.

Or you can have my another shorter answer for this:
mi na pu pensi tu'a lo nalylogji terjonma'o vau u'iru'e

we should distinguish between symmetrical connectives like je, joi, ce,
jo'u, ju'e, bi'i, ku'a, pi'u, jo'e
and assymetric like
ja, jo, ju, bi'o, mi'i, ce'o, fa'u.

mi su'eifa'u do citka lo plise (su'ei) fa'u lo perli = Each of us eats
both an apple and a pear.
su'eimi'i can be for people living in 3d space inside a 4d hypercube thus
every point for them is the centre and the surroundings.
bi'o and ce'o can probably be used for describing oscilations.

as for ce'oi i dont know what it means.
