Boy, it's nice to meet another bad typist!  {zasti}, {ciksi} (I call her Shicksy because I have to explain her to my mother), {balvi}.
Don't the {joi} and {le nei} make these sound reflexive rather than reciprocal.  I always took the point to be the mutual interaction, the one bounded (so to speak, if speak we must) by the other rather than absolutely.  Though, come to think of it, self-defining is not too bad either.  I defer to aulun.
