Follow-up Comment #4:

True, there is no point to talk about "first" or "second" at all.

I changed it like this:

-Directories normally have at least two hard
-links; their @file{.} entry is the second one.  If they have
-subdirectories, each of those also has a hard link called @file{..} to
-its parent directory.
+A directory normally has at least two hard links: the entry named in its
parent
+directory, and the @file{.} entry inside of the directory.
+If a directory has subdirectories, each of those also has a hard link called
+@file{..} to its parent directory.
