Verb
grena (present grenar, preterite grenade, supine grenat, imperative grena)
- (reflexive) to branch, to branch out (split into branches, literally or figuratively)
- Floden grenar sig lite längre fram
- The river branches out a bit further ahead
Usage notes
Close to synonymous with förgrena. Might lean a bit more towards "split up" ("branch oneself") as opposed to "branch out" ("en-branch oneself / branch oneself up").
