I didn't think "xufak" was an allolex of NSM "true".


Perhaps not.  "True" is a gloss of "xufak", in the sense of "real, actual, true, existent". In this sense its opposite is not "false", but "unreal, imaginary".

So "yobanmek" is the only real equivalent of NSM 'true'.
And 'false' is "yozunmek".
