The spelling of the word "privett" may cause confusion as it is pronounced differently than it looks. The IPA phonetic transcription for "privett" is /ˈprivɪt/ which shows that the stress falls on the first syllable and the "v" is pronounced as "v" and not as "f". It's easy to mistakenly spell it as "privet" because of the common plant with the same name. However, "privett" is a lesser-known variant of "privet" which means a small or private room, especially in a church.
