<div id="ygrps-yiv-281928346">Being a novice to this site, I am baffled by terms such as pene-enclave.<br/>
Without a clear definition I am afraid I cannot employ it in my professional<br/>
life, but I seem to understand what it means.  Can any of you afficionados<br/>
give me a clear definition that I can pass around to my fellow synorologists<br/>
in Legal?<br/>
<br/>
Another thing I find interesting is your use of digraphs (two letters for<br/>
independent states and other political entities.  At the State Department<br/>
website (www.state.gov) we use the digraphs established by the US Board on<br/>
Geographic names, which, granted are a little obscure (LO for Slovenia, EZ<br/>
for the Czech Republic, TC for UAE, BH for Belize) because either historical<br/>
colonial abbreviations (Trucial states) or we are running out of digraphs<br/>
(can&#39;t recycle -- CZ is for Czechoslovakia).  Where do you guys come up with<br/>
your digraphs?  Perhaps we should use the UN trigraph system?<br/>

<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;From: Arif<br/>
<br/>
&gt;To add my two-cents on the word pene-exclave.  I like<br/>
&gt;using the word, but it doesn&#39;t always give a true idea<br/>
&gt;of what geography the place has.  We seem to call<br/>
&gt;tongues separated by water, a place which is separated<br/>
&gt;by a point or a mountain and all such things as<br/>
&gt;pene-exclaves.  To use the word pene-exclave without a<br/>
&gt;qualifier is kind of odd, IMO.<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>i agree completely<br/>
<br/>
better yet why dont we find or invent & then use adequate words in the first<br/>
place<br/>
<br/>
i think we will understand each other better if we do<br/>
