Not a set, but its members:
x1 (set) has members who mutually/reciprocally x2 (event [x1 should be
reflexive in 1+ sumti]).

"mutually" is not something similar to carrying a piano, together or
otherwise. It's a property of a set, not its members.
It's a property of being a clique http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clique_(graph_theory).
That way it's more logical, and hey, Lojban was designed to be a
logical language, not an easy language (we already have Esperanto!).

Otherwise we can throw away sets completely, because now you can't say
{lo ro jbopre ku zvati ti gi'e se cmima mi}. If you can do with masses
everyting you can do with sets, we don't need them.
