--------------------------------------

Editor: You are submitting for a change in the entry for 分[fen4].
But 分 in 分行 has *first* tone (fēn), so the relevant entry is 分[fen1].

In the definition of 分[fen1], we have the gloss "part or subdivision", which is intended to cover not only 分行 and 分所 and 分校, but also the likes of 分册 and 分项.

I will rewrite the definition to indicate that for this sense, 分 is a bound morpheme, not a word.
The glosses "branch of" and "sub-" serve to indicate that this bound form is used in the *prefix* position.
Diff:
# - 分 分 [fen4] /part/share/ingredient/component/
# + 分 分 [fen4] /part/share/ingredient/component/branch (as in 銀行分行)/
