Hi all, I've been basically offline for the last two weeks, and am now trying to conquer my very overfilled email inbox. Just a few comments on my use of the terms enclave and exclave. I'm only interested in land borders, so, as Peter S correctly pointed out, my definitions do not consider sea borders at all. One of my dictionaries, though, uses the term enclave as an umbrella term for all the various types of enclaves that Arif listed, and, on top of that, it says that you can use the term for anything that is enclosed by something that is not the same as that the thing inside. So you can in fact use the term enclave about language groups, races, animals etc, all depending on your topic. Rolf
