orphan: orphaned dependent in gapping, attached to the promoted orphan
The orphan relation is used to provide a treatment of ellipsis (in
the case of gapping and stripping, where a predicational or verbal
head gets elided). In particular, orphan aims to provide analyses
that do not postulate empty nodes.

Diffs
FinnTreeBank (FI_FTB) does not apply the relation orphan.
Instead, in elliptical cases the relation conj has been
chosen to correspond to its correlate in a preceding clause.
