iobj: indirect object

The indirect object of a (verbal) predicate is the nominal which is the dative object of the verb. The relation iobj is used for objects that are not direct objects. It occurs only when there is a obj or ccomp in the clause.

She gave me a raise
iobj(gave, me)

Note that prepositional phrases are not considered core arguments in English, hence in she gave it to me, the to me part is attached as nmod although semantically it corresponds to the dative.
