jan
great idea
& i would be glad to attend such a try
at least as a kibitzer
btw
i think rolfs definitions are impeccable
as far as they go
it is just that the 2 basic clave words already disappoint our
expectations for the symmetry & reciprocity they themselves
seem to promise but never deliver
moreover we have been strapped with the additional
misapprehensions & misnomers of generations of supposed
authorities
like the idea that the presence or interposition of the sea
somehow disallows clavity
or the presumption that the little pieces must be the exclaves &
the big piece the homeland
when all are equally parts of a single whole
or the idea of fragmentation itself
when nothing has actually been broken
etc etc
thats why for starters i prefer not to take the trouble of
distinguishing among all these muddledheaded ideas
but rather to just call everything by the single word clave
as well as to be as inclusive & nonrestrictive as possible
& when progressing into all the additionally problematic pene or
quasi areas etc etc
well fortunately i must stop here for now
but let me just take this opportunity to say on my way out the door
that perhaps my favorite abuse of language & logic in the entire
world is the inapplicable use of the military idea of a salient
when a territorial proruption is all that is ever meant by it
anyway more later if wanted
