yes it is & please excuse the unavoidable interruption above

& i have cut off the entire bottom of the message now
so we have plenty of room to grow it again

but first to return to your upper question
which is also right on
of where specifically i would write

i dont know what the seat of government of tatli is
but i do know azerbaijan uses rayons
& i still need to check this
but if tatli is in the vicinity of kazakh
as i tentatively believe it is
then the name of the rayon is most probably qazax
& its rayon seat is most probably kazakh too

but i will keep digging on this
& on whether rayons have governors or whatever
for it might be better to write to a known responsible individual
rather than to some unknown office or generic place
i completely agree
if that is what you were getting at

& back to the maybeclaves answer

i wouldnt & dont put too fine a point on any of this

of course a clave heard from much more recently is far more
likely to still exist than a clave heard from much less recently

interestingly
this isnt quite the same situation as with multipoints
which
tho they may move about or get remonumented etc
nevertheless they presumptively continue to exist indefinitely
or at least as long as their constituent states continue to exist
