I've seen this a couple of times in newspapers. For example:

> ....は山口、広島 **両県** の....

I can't find it in any dictionary. My gut feeling is that it indicates a sort
of union between the two prefectures, in this case between Yamaguchi and
Hiroshima. Can someone confirm or clarify this?

question

What is a 両県 (as seen in newspapers)?
両〜 is a prefix meaning "both". In this case "both prefectures".

[Here](http://jisho.org/words?jap=%E4%B8%A1&eng=&dict=edict) are some other
examples of its usage, from EDICT via jisho.org.
