Ha ha ha... that's
the point. Need I say more??? The point is that you can use the words to describe
anything. Two buildings? Give me a break. I could use '2 brothers' to describe anything that is in a set of 2, no matter what the contents of the set... be it nations, people, tribes, buildings, views, religions, etc.
But, danevans, I do agree with you that it is interesting. Just don't be spooked out too much by it.
