nsubj: nominal subject

The nsubj marks nominal subjects of the non-copular clause. Being Basque a morphologically ergative language, subjects of transitive verbs are marked with the ergative case, while subjects of intransitive verbs are marked with the absolutive case.

Example of a subject in an intransitive sentence (ABS case):

Bi zati hauek markaturik dauden tokietatik tolesten dira .

These two parts fold by the sites that are marked .
