Well, horizons, borders and boundaries seem to be verbs (after the manner of
'divide' or 'xwrizw'), not nouns... or at least verbal forms.  For example
political borders could be 'where lands meet', or somesuch.  (yeah I really need
to get into roots generation quickly so these can actually look like things)

It would help me a little if someone could supply a sentence where, say, that
border on the French flag is the agent or patient of a verb.
