&gt; of maritime tri sovereign points into the drink<br/>
&gt; so it is back to the underwater drawing board for me<br/>
&gt; & you can probably expect a considerable retrenchment from my earlier guess<br/>

&gt;<br/>
&gt; upon further relection also<br/>
&gt; i would just like to retreat an extra inch here by adding the following<br/>
&gt; hopefully final nuance to clave usage<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; altho saying flatly<br/>
&gt;   an enclave  of  any country<br/>
&gt; still seems to me to be an abuse of the word  of<br/>
&gt; nevertheless it is not really an abuse of the word  in  to say<br/>
&gt;   llivia is an exclave of spain  or a spanish exclave  in  france<br/>
&gt;     while i would still prefer to say within france in such cases<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; but it would still seem to me to be an abuse of the word  in  to say<br/>
&gt;   llivia is an exclave  in  france<br/>
&gt; without first identifying it as an exclave  of  spain or a spanish exclave<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; otherwise i wouldnt want to budge from the positions outlined below<br/>

 </span></blockquote>I wonder if you can call Eq. Guinea exclavic. Is the island completely detached from the continental<br/>
part? I would say not, because in order to go from the one to the other, you go through 1. Eq.<br/>
Guinean terr. waters, 2. international waters (thus belonging to everyone, including Eq. Guinea), 3.<br/>
Eq. Guinean terr. waters once more. I think if international waters are in the way, there is usually<br/>
less reason to call something an enclave.<br/>
