{tolbebna}? Some people use {mencre}.
I interpret "x1 is local to x2;x1 is confined to locus x2 within
range x3" to mean that x1 is an object or event that happens/exists
only at a specific location. "That rash (x1) is on the arm (x2) (of my
body (x3))", "The wedding (x1)was in the social hall (x2) (of the
church (x3))",
So like {zvati}, but with an additional x3?
"The evacuation (x1) was only of Baltimore (x2)"
This one would seem to say that the evacuation took place in Baltimore,
rather than that Baltimore was evacuated.
"The event of Goldilocks sleeping (x1) was on the bed (x2)" Hence,
di'o would be used to describe whatever the object or event that is
localized to the bridi, a much slipperier (and less useful) concept.
But do you see any difference between {ko'a zvati ko'e} and
{ko'a diklo ko'e}, or are they near synonyms?
Perhaps something like: mi'o ba ganzu tu'a le kumfa di'o le bliku
(you and I will organize the room, specifically the blocks therein).
{ne di'o le bliku} if you want to tie the blocks to the room.
I would rather say something like {mi'o ba ganzu le kumfa .i sa'e go'i
le bliku poi zvati ky.}
mu'o mi'e xorxes
