<div id="ygrps-yiv-694021789">oddly enough<br/>
whether the iqkwsa tripoint is designated a ghost trinational <br/>
quadripoint <br/>
as suggested below<br/>
or is given some better name to reflect the former iqsa neutral <br/>
zone that used to be attached to it<br/>
our other strange old friend the bedenl tripoint <br/>
evidently enjoyed a topologically identical situation <br/>
for at least part of the time when neutral moresnet touched it<br/>
according to some tho not all maps<br/>
<br/>
for example<br/>

<br/>
so we may actually have at least a pair of these strange <br/>
quadri ghastli neutri thingies<br/>
whatever they may be called<br/>
<br/>
however compare the moresnet map at eefs site<br/>
&or most any other moresnet map anywhere<br/>
which show moresnet virtually embedded within belgium<br/>
presumably reflecting the situation at a later time period<br/>
when bedenl was promoted to a trinational quintipoint<br/>
counting the 2 slices of belgium on both sides of moresnet<br/>
<br/>
or else it became a quadrinational quintipoint<br/>
counting moresnet not merely as a bede neutral zone<br/>
but as a neutral independent country<br/>
which some people evidently also did<br/>
<br/>
the extra problem there tho is that both slices of belgium are <br/>
actually connected to each other<br/>
behind the back of moresnet as it were<br/>
so we may have another crisis of nomenclature in that case too<br/>
<br/>
but in any case it would be interesting to know if & how & when <br/>
bedenl transformed from a quadripoint to a quintipoint<br/>

&gt; yes you arent lost at all<br/>
&gt; for it is the bengali one<br/>

&gt; <br/>
&gt; & yes i agree the former neutral zone used to have a sort of <br/>
&gt; border cross<br/>
&gt; but not a binational quadripoint  <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; hard to figure out what to call that one<br/>
&gt; perhaps a ghost trinational quadripoint<br/>

&gt; &gt; Sorry, Mike, but I&#39;m lost at this (quadri)point. Wich is the third <br/>
&gt; &gt; binational quadripoint confirmed? Perhaps a bengali one?<br/>
&gt; &gt; <br/>
&gt; &gt;  By the way, do you think it was a trinational quadripoint the <br/>
&gt; Kuwait/ <br/>
&gt; &gt; Saudi Arabia /Irak / Neutral Zone one, before the partition?<br/>
