obl:prep: prepositional pronouns
obl:prep, used for prepositional pronouns, is a UD Irish subtype of the obl relation:
(previously nmod:prep)
16 of the most common Irish simple prepositions can be inflected to mark pronominal objects. These are referred to as pronominal prepositions or prepositional pronouns. We regard these as playing nominal modifier roles instead of prepositional modifier roles.
