obl:arg: oblique argument

The relation obl:arg is used for oblique arguments and distinguishes them from adjuncts, which use the plain obl relation. It is thus possible to preserve the notion of object as it is defined in the traditional grammar. In German UD, we currently use obl:arg for bare dative and genitive “objects”, but not for prepositional “objects”.
