| Koohii Story 1 | The tree´s primary branch is known as the bough. |
| Koohii Story 2 | Differentiate between BOUGH and branch (#711): ´branch´ is smaller, and can also refer to the branch of a store (支店), which has nothing to do with a tree. But a BOUGH is a main part of a tree, perhaps where the trunk splits into several large boughs, and so it logically utilizes the 木 radical. |
