nmod:poss: genitive modifier
The dependency type poss stands for possessive in the original SD
scheme, but in UD Finnish, the corresponding type nmod:poss is used
for genitive modifiers in general, which in Finnish often but not nearly
always imply possession. There are two kinds of genitive modifiers that
are not annotated using the general genitive modifier type: the genitive
object, nmod:gobj and the genitive subject, nmod:gsubj.
Diffs
FinnTreeBank (FI_FTB) applies
the universal relation nmod
instead of the language-specific nmod:poss.
