obl: oblique argument or adjunct

The obl relation is used for oblique nominal arguments and adjuncts of verbs.

The token marked obl is a noun (or head of a noun phrase) functioning as a non-core (oblique) argument or adjunct. The obl token can provide locational, temporal or other adverbial information, and may be an adjunct as well.

Examples:

Note that obl includes prepositional objects of verbs of perception, such as the object of ‘hear’ or ‘see’, which is prepositional in Coptic:

Prepositional objects are always obl and never marked as obj, unless they are marked by the object marker ⲛ in one of the durative tenses, according to Jernstedt’s Law.
