iobj: indirect object

An indirect object is a nominal which is the second object of the verb, often corresponding to a dative object.

Han skickar mig ett brev . \n He sends me a letter .
iobj(skickar, mig)

In Swedish, the indirect object can never be constructed with a preposition. In that case, the nmod relation is used even if the meaning is very similar to that of an indirect object.

Han skickar ett brev till mig . \n He sends a letter to me .
nmod(skickar, mig)
case(mig, till)
