Word of the day: pene-exclave

[Aunt Bea]

Port Roberts Washington is a pene-exclave that has become isolated due to the closing of the Canadian border.

A pene-exclave is a part of the territory of one country that can be conveniently approached—in particular, by wheeled traffic—only through the territory of another country. Pene-exclaves are also called functional exclaves or practical exclaves.

There was a lot of coverage of the Port Roberts pene-exclave a while back.

Pene-exclave is an unusual word and I missed the news about Port Roberts being closed.
