country digraphs used for designating the trijunctions & boundaries are per the decoding table

code elements are usually familiar or easily inferable
both separately & in composite
& they are also clarified by the accompanying details

035 azgeru tho probably still unmarked the soviet tripoint does not appear to be in doubt even as the exact alignment of the azru convergent remains uncertain

the totally revised but still impartially coded official united nations trijunction registry & yearbook
many of the 176 official & most of 26 unofficial territorial & boundary trijunctions that are registered or acknowledged here nevertheless remain practically if not utterly unknown
so great thanx & congrats are extended to the makers & presenters of all the select photos & other prized data it is our honor to have collected & represented
but especially to all those who have accomplished the premier visits & or the most punctilious ones to the respective points
all are credited by direct links to their original presentations
special multiple thanxxx however are owed to fsu
the former soviet union
not just for imploding & thus contributing more official united nations trijunctions than any other source
but particularly for providing the best & most readily available mapping for most of the world
via the poehali site
&
to fsu again
but florida state university this time
for the best available set of the no less indispensable international boundary studies series
which even the united states state department itself wont post or complete or update
&
finally
to fsu yet again
but this time to the group
friends stand united
even if only for providing the best available third fsu acronym
which is needed to make a crowd & a charm & a triple point
because every opportunity has been taken & every effort made to simplify winnow & condense all the many sorts of pertinent data
even the sharpest readers may be puzzled on occasion by certain especially compressed or opaque passages
but if so
then a simple explanation will usually be found ready to hand
but certainly any lingering questions as well as additions corrections suggestions etc will be much appreciated & dotingly entertained by return email
future tripoint seekers & visitors are most cordially invited to contribute best available photography & other data to future annual editions of the registry
& states parties in particular are entreated to provide fullest available official tripoint information
thank you
be multiple & fructify
sincerely
