our search function & nomenclature are often equally ridiculous<br/>
but a thalweg is just the deepest & swiftest part of any stream<br/>
aka the center of the navigation channel<br/>
& is usually visible as a sort of crease on the surface of the water<br/>
or else as a line in the lowest part of the dry bed<br/>
<br/>
this line is frequently tho not always found near midstream<br/>
but treaties often specify it as the official boundary<br/>
rather than the middle of the river or a bank etc<br/>
so that both parties will have equal access for transport<br/>
& also for ease of precise identification<br/>
<br/>
message 4734 explains the classes of trypointing visits<br/>
often somewhat tongue in cheek yet somewhat useful too<br/>
& hardly authoritative by any standard<br/>
<br/>
but they are in a word<br/>
a absolute<br/>
b basic<br/>
c close<br/>
d distant<br/>
e elusive<br/>
<br/>
mnemonically<br/>
