<br/>
&gt;Sounds like an invitation to start _that_ discussion again. Difficult,<br/>
&gt;since enclave and exclave are widely accepted words found in<br/>
&gt;dictionaries etc., but pene-e/n/x/claves are only accepted at BP and in<br/>
&gt;a few specialist publications, I think.<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>they seem universally allowed at bp because we are all allowers<br/>
but i for one have difficulty grasping & thus embracing the pene words<br/>
because i think they refer not to something that is nearly a clave but <br/>
rather to something that only acts as if it were a clave<br/>
<br/>
we already have the terms salient &or proruption to describe the topology of <br/>
things that are nearly a clave<br/>
<br/>
so i am telling myself as i try to understand<br/>
the pene words must be function oriented & not topological terms<br/>
if they are to really mean anything specific at all<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;As far as I&#39;m concerned, you can call it anything you like. But the<br/>
&gt;most logical would be to treat the pene-en/exclaves like you treat the<br/>
&gt;real en/exclaves.<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>well yes this is very close to my point above<br/>
<br/>
logic & sense dictate that things be named logically & sensibly<br/>
that is<br/>
in this case at least<br/>
named for how they are treated as you say<br/>
or how they function i would add<br/>
hence only quasi & not pene seems to me logical & sensible<br/>
since quasi actually means fully  as if<br/>
but pene means only  almost or nearly<br/>
<br/>
it doesnt matter that the pene words are illogical & senseless<br/>
so long as we all understand & agree what we are doing<br/>
& what we are actually saying & meaning by them<br/>
even as i for one dont understand<br/>
but i am not much into treatment & function anyway<br/>
so dont mind me<br/>
i will just hang in here<br/>
