去買他的私房糕餅去了 he went to buy his own private cakes.

Z has this distinction between fang2 and fang5; I only half -believe such distinctions, but it makes for a fine entry where the word, as an adj, is de-emphasized.

J:
公房和私房 privately-owned
城堡中妇女之私房 private chambers
他们闯进了你的私房里 privacy (a fig use of the above)
私房话 (confidences, private talk)

"private ownings" :指家庭成员不让别人知道的积蓄 , and similar def on M.
