so i gather what you are calling transkei here has since become
eastern cape province
as in
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/africa/south_africa_reliefmap.jpg
where you can actually see the larger clave & imagine the
smaller one at westernmost kwazulu natal province
tho the present name of this transkei or eastern cape province is
technically unknowable at present
according to our usually reliable source
http://www.mindspring.com/~gwil/uza.html
but by whatever names
& since we are here now just loitering around in za2
can you or anyone confirm that this odd pair of reciprocal
transkei kwazulu claves
producing zero tripoints whether domestic or international
is all she wrote for contemporary south african interprovincial
claves
or are there others still to be found in her national clavoscopy
