nsubj:outer: outer nominal passive subject

In this treatment of Scottish Gaelic, passive subjects in the rach passive construction are marked with nsubj:pass but sometimes there may be two of them, one of which is a possessive pronoun immediately before the verbal noun. Where this happens the possessive pronoun takes nsubj:pass and what would usually be the passive subject takes nsubj:outer.

Examples

Chaidh an dithis, nach deach an ainmeachadh fhathast, an toirt gu ospadal ann an Ath Lethinn

‘The pair, who have not been named yet, were taken to hospital in Broadford.’
