 </span></blockquote>The OED has a proper [ ;-) ] definition for both enclave and exclave.<br/>
<br/>
That plus notable exclave experts confirm &#39;my&#39; definition above.<br/>
<br/>
This is one problem that &#39;enclave&#39; and &#39;excalve&#39; are used far too liberally <br/>
and slapdashically by the much of the media.<br/>
<br/>
Websters: &quot;a small part of a country lying within the territory of another <br/>
country&#39;.<br/>
Cabinda does NOT lie &#39;within&#39; another country!<br/>
