Lacunalah koo-nuh
n. A twinge of sadness that there's no frontier left, that as the last explorer trudged his armies toward the last blank spot on the map, he didn't suddenly turn for home, leaving one last island unexplored so we could set it aside as a strategic reserve of mystery.
Etymology
Latin lacuna, an unfilled space or hole + Spanish Jacuna, cradle.
