There is a slight deviation from the universal standard in case of more than one appositive nominal. Instead of attaching them all to the first noun, all the appositive modifiers are put together in coordination, then attached as appos to the modified noun. This is done regardless whether the appositives are joined by a coordinating conjunction or just a comma.

Přijel Michal , můj bratr a Davidův bratranec . \n Came Michal , my brother and David's cousin .
appos(Michal-2, bratr)
appos(Michal-12, brother)
conj(bratr, bratranec)
conj(brother, cousin)

Michal , můj bratr , Davidův bratranec , přijede zítra . \n Michal , my brother , David's cousin , will-come tomorrow .
appos(Michal-1, bratr)
appos(Michal-13, brother)
conj(bratr, bratranec)
conj(brother, cousin)

appos is also used to link key-value pairs in addresses, signatures, etc. (see also the list label):

Jan Novák , tel . : 777-000-111 , e-mail : novak@ab.cz
flat(Jan, Novák)
list(Jan, tel)
list(Jan, e-mail)
appos(tel, 777-000-111)
appos(e-mail, novak@ab.cz)
