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.

Potřeboval čtyřnohého a ne dvounohého přítele . \n He-needed quadrupedal and not bipedal friend .
neg(dvounohého, ne)
neg(bipedal, not)

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

Premiér není žádný hlupák . \n The-Prime-Minister is-not no fool .
det(hlupák, žádný)
det(fool, no)
