Also: x1 is secret (one sense); x2 is in the know/in touch with/privy to x1 (= selsivni for reordered places); exclusion can be expressed by na'e(bo) in x2: excluded/in the dark (= nalselsivni). See also gubni, mipri.


Don't you think that the text in bold contradict the definition?

The definition may be a little confusing, but "private to x2" means x2 is the only one who knows about it.
e.g.: "How can I keep my photos private to me only?"

"privy" confused me since it was used in a different way two times in the def.
