Classification of named entities (token-based, no nesting of entities etc.)
The feature applies mainly to the PROPN tag; in multi-word foreign names, adjectives may also have this feature (they preserve
the ADJ tag but at the same time they would not exist in Armenian otherwise than in the named entity).
Geo: geographical name
