Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile.
Similar to ICBM but with smaller range .By definition, range if the range is smaller then 4000 mi, it's an IRBM.
"Ballistic" in this case means that the missile does not depend on anything like a wing for lift (it may or may not have small fins, though.

Get the irbmmug. A bifurcation is when a small change in something causes a big change in something else.
This word comes from math; specifically it refers to the solution of a differential equation taking a big change as the value of a parameter crosses a certain number.
