In "Fork of a tree," why is F upper case?

Good question. Per the band notation, this is an "example" ("tr" band following an "ex" band). Most often, the examples are sentences, but they can also be phrases as in this case. (At least the English is a phrase. I guess the Cantonese could be considered either a word or a phrase.) The English translations ("tr" bands) are always capitalized; I've just checked and confirmed that. Also, periods are normally omitted. (These are different conventions from some of our other dictionaries.) So, this is consistent with other entries and I don't think we would change the convention this late. Thanks!
