xcomp: open clausal complement

An (xcomp) label is used in cases of obligatory coreference between the subject of a finite να-clause, which is not present as a separate word, and an argument (subject or object) of the higher clause.

There are some cases where the implied subject of both clauses is present in the complement clause. In these cases, we attach the subject to the verb of the complement clause.

The xcomp relation is also used for labelling obligatory predicatives in clauses where the verb heading the construction is not the copula είμαι
