nsubj:pass: passive nominal subject
In this treatment of Scottish Gaelic, a passive nominal subject is a noun phrase which is the patient in a clause with rach as the auxiliary and which controls the verb contained within the clause.
The particle a preceding the verbal noun usually has PartType=Inf and is marked with mark:prt but occasionally it is clearly a possessive pronoun.
In this case this one takes nsubj:pass and the word that would usually taken nsubj:pass takes nsubj:outer.
See the second example below.
