i just doublechecked the cia & found that they agree with the iso <br/>
standard cited by gwillem law in considering monaco undivided<br/>
yet they continue to consider montserrat divided into 3 parishes<br/>
<br/>
so that dependency might yet prove to have a tripoint <br/>
by both the old & the new styles of subdividing it<br/>
<br/>
also of interest btw<br/>
found ghauts nowhere else in the west indies but did find similar <br/>
things called ghuts all over the nearby islands of st kitts & nevis <br/>
if also nowhere else<br/>
so this is evidently a very localized outbreak of these terms or term<br/>
& no less mysterious for riddling 3 islands rather than only 1<br/>
<br/>
but the best news is that the island of nevis is showing a distinct <br/>
quintiparish point on the cia map at perry castaneda <br/>
& tho its subdivisions arent recognized by iso they are recognized by <br/>
the cia factbook as well & thus could well have some basis in fact<br/>
