appendage/ramification
Credo che "ramification" vade bene, particolarmente visto che si parla d'isolotti. Ho cercato di trovare degli esempi, ma le parole sono troppo generiche per altri esempi paralleli a questo.

: to me using the word "appendage" sounds pretty vulgar (which the original isn't) as well as rude (original is), as in "star MACAULAY CULKIN reveals his pet name for his penis - he calls his appendage FLOYD." Am I alone in thinking this way?
