If there is no ambiguity between members of the BOM in different classes, you can remove the {this} placeholder for the declaring class from the verbalization. This produces shorter phrases and makes your business rules less verbose.

Removing the {this} placeholder causes a vocabulary warning by default, but as long as you know the phrase is not ambiguous, you can set a preference to ignore this warning.

For example, if you change the verbalization of Customer.name from {name} of {this} to {name}, everywhere in your business rules you will be able to use the phrase the name instead of the name of the customer. But if you have Company.name verbalized as {name} in the same BOM, you will have to modify one of the phrase templates to avoid ambiguity, for example by verbalizing Customer.name to {customer name}.
