"Branching" means that one species becomes several species. {farvi} means that 
one species becomes another species. In languages, Latin branched into 
Sardinian, Romanian, Italian, Spanish, French, etc., while Attic developed 
into Modern Greek but did not branch (Tsakonian is descended from another 
ancient dialect).
