neg: negation modifier

The negation modifier is the relation between the negation word ne and the word it modifies.

Negation in Czech is most of the time expressed using a bound morpheme (the prefix ne-). Occurrences of the morpheme as a separate word are rare in comparison to other languages, yet they exist.

Note that the negative determiners (pronouns) are attached as det, not neg:
