`nmod`: nominal modifier

The nmod relation is used for nominal modifiers of nouns. nmod is typically a noun functioning as a non-core (oblique) argument or adjunct, and marked by either a preposition using case or has Case=Gen in the FEATS column. From 2.16 onwards we use nmod:unmarked where there is no preposition and Case=Nom.

Note that nominal modifiers of verbal nouns use obl or obl:unmarked instead.
