I'm working on a translation (which I'll upload for review once I've
gotten about a third of the way through) & can't quite wrap my brain
around {farvi}. The gismu list has:

x1 develops/evolves towards/into x2 from x3 through stages x4 

In the evolution or development of something there is a start-point
(x3), intermediate stages (x4), & an endpoint (x2). So I'm not quite
sure what role x1 plays here. An example {selbri} with all places
filled would go far in explaining this to me.
