nmod: nominal modifier

A nominal modifier is a nominal phrase which modifies another nominal phrase. The dependent must be a nominal phrase.

Guajajara lacks adjectives. Therefore, nominal modifiers in Guajajara may appear in genitive constructions or specify an attribute of the nominal phrase. In genitive constructions, the dependent predeces the head.

        [ "embedded-1-R1", "nmod", [ [ "arg1", "embedded-1-T3" ], [ "arg2", "embedded-1-T2" ] ] ]
    ],
    "attributes": [],
    "error": false,
    "sentlabels": [ "1" ]
}

When the nominal modifier expresses an attribute, the head precedes the dependent.
