but what was this entire reiterative offshoot discussion about<br/>
<br/>
claves if by land but not if by sea this time around<br/>
& well but what exactly do we mean by if by<br/>
etc etc<br/>
<br/>
ok but we could streamline & simplify it & all subsequent <br/>
reiterations by just realizing once & for all that things & their <br/>
shapes are by nature & very commonly either continuous or <br/>
discontinuous <br/>
& only in very rare really interesting cases like jungholz are they <br/>
both at once<br/>
<br/>
indeed thats the only situation where punctology enters into clavology<br/>
or of course if a clave happens to have a gratuitous tripoint like <br/>
cabinda<br/>
but otherwise this discussion is another try of sorts & so to that <br/>
extent it sorta fits in here but it is not about pointing at all<br/>
<br/>
oh yes & remember too you may or may not be counting water as real <br/>
estate in your tries depending on your taste <br/>
but water is really just as real as dry land<br/>
again speaking punctologically at least<br/>
