ahh thanx jan

your info then seems to indicate that this is a tertiary tripoint
upon a secondary boundary line
& not really a homogeneous quintipoint

so it is just like a binational tripoint
say like caus2abbcmt for example
which is also not really a quintipoint tho 5 entities are involved

& being just like it but a full step lower
it is evidently of the type dk2aabb3ccddee


also in answer to jespers question about other living examples
there is a tree that grew up around the us2arlatx marker
but the tree is not the tripoint marker
for the marker is still the marker tho surrounded by the tree
a big distinction

& the example harry just added of a tree that memorializes a ghost
tripoint isnt really a marker either
for in that case there is no working marker
for an also big distinction

but if this tree of jespers really is literally the tripoint marker
then that is big news
& the question arises & remains
where is the exact tripoint then

is the tripoint really the entire tree
a dubious idea
or just the entire trunk everywhere it rises
a slightly better idea but still problematic
or only the entire trunk at ground level in cross section
still better but still not a point
or is it only the exact center of the trunk at ground level such as
might be indicated by the tree rings
etc
etc
& how will we know
