Thanks everyone for your information. I guess I'm still having
trouble with this: if Italy says it has no territorial claim to an
area, and the Vatican runs that area as its own, in what way does
that differ from a _real_ enclave like Llivia (France says it doesn't
belong to them, Spain runs it). Some subtlety about the word "extra-
territorial" that I'm missing, here? Can anyone explain?

Brendan has pointed me at the Lonely Planet guide for Oman and the
UAE, which contains a nice description of Madha. I'm guessing, then,
that the UAE enclave of Nahwa, within Madha, is named for some
village with Emirates sympathies in the middle of the cluster of
villages around Madha that ended up in Oman. Can anyone confirm or
refute that?

Comparing my own enclave list with things that have been discussed in
the archives, I see a couple of things I might raise out of interest.
1) Rolf's page gives two Cypriot enclaves within the Sovereign Base
Area in Cyprus. But Appendix G to the Constitution of Cyprus
(www.pio.gov.cy/cygov/constitution/appendix_g.htm)
specifically mentions three - Ormidhia, Xylotimbou and the area
around the Dhekelia Power Station. Certainly I'm still seeing maps
that show a hint of an international border at Dhekelia, and the
power station is still in operation according to recent news reports
of people blockading the road to it. So has something happened to the
ownership of the area, or is this a third Cypriot enclave?
2)Peter Hering's fine Caucasus map shows two additional enclaves that
might turn international, depending on how the current negotiations
between Armenia and Azerbaijan pan out. Within Nagorno-Karabakh are
two small Azerbaijani areas: one south of Stepanakert seems
(interestingly) to be centred around the mountain ridge of Buyuk Kirs
Dag (dieresis on each of the u's, breve over the g; = Big Kirs
Mountain in Azeri); the second is in the extreme NW corner of N-K,
centred on a town the name of which I can't read on the scanned image
(does anyone know what it's called?).
Both of these could become Azeri enclaves in either an independent
Nagorno-Karabakh or an N-K as part of Armenia, with or without the
Lacin corridor. (Then again, current negotiations seem to require the
return of the existing Azeri and Aremenian enclaves, so maybe the N-K
enclaves will disappear too.)
