fixed: multi-word expression

The fixed multi-word expression relation is one of the relations for compounding and it is intended mostly for function words. The first token is the head of a fixed unit - with right branching attachments from the head to each element of the MWE.

Note that in Irish, the labels flat, flat:name and flat:foreign are used for nominal compounds - organisations, people etc. Regular noun compounds are labelled compound. The label compound:prt is used for particle verbs e.g. ‘éirí as’.

The other multiword units in Irish that are labelled as fixed are as follows:
