“It does not appear possible that this hypothetical path extends in a roughly northward direction from the Carter Ranch and trifurcates, turning toward these three lake sites.”

“The furcated branches are commonly bifurcated or, less commonly, trifurcated one or two times, but this character may differ from ray to ray.”

“All the rays are trifurcated at their tips and repeatedly furcated into three branches, but some of the last branches are the result of bifurcation.”

“What you have here is a trifurcated straw poll, combining mail ballots and e-mail voting with actual caucuses.”

“The latter differs, however, in having bifurcating rays in addition to trifurcating rays.”
