nmod: nominal modifier

The nmod relation is used for nominal modifiers of nouns or clausal predicates. nmod is typically a noun functioning as a non-core (oblique) argument or adjunct, and often marked by a preposition using case.

Note that nominal modifiers of verbal nouns use obl, obl:smod or obl:tmod instead.

This is also used in phrases like sa bhliadhna 1774 ‘in the year 1774’ to link the year to the word for year.
