great idea peter
& very interesting besides
to do the punctoscopy entirely from the basque point of view
& i realize it is full of unsolved problems
since the administrative subdivisions are asymmetrical
the place names are in several languages
the shorthand is improvisational & provisional as usual
etc etc
but it is a fantastic try
i believe i understand & agree with your identification of a single
most comprehensive basque tripoint
based on the tricolor map i posted previously
& situated in the bidasoa
where the basque & navarre autonomous communities of spain
meet the unorganized french basque country
which latter i gather is called iparralde as a unity
hence i would have thought eu2baipna
aka esfr2banapy
or maybe esfr2ginapy
for the naming of it
yet this assessment may still be an oversimplification
judging from the bascocentric map in
http://www.basque-red.net/eng/euskaeng/eheng.htm
which ignores the part of esfr that splits navarre in 2
& reopens the question of exactly how many bascocentric
basque subdivisions there are
3 or 6 or 7
& therefore how many major tripoints
only the 1 biggie or the several you have already identified
or perhaps a couple of extra ones too at the terminal points
where the 2 navarres meet
it is a wonderful puzzle in any case
& i dont yet see what the most basque solution would be
tho you may well have considered & resolved that already
also
another bascocentric map
http://www.basque-red.net/eng/euskaeng/ehmoveng.htm
suggests a basque clavoscopy also might be added to our
basque punctoscopy
btw i think the eh diglyph is used for western sahara
tho the eu may also be reserved
for the european union
i dont know
but if necessary maybe ek would do & be unmistakable too
