flat: flat multiword expression

The flat relation is used for words in an expression with no clear syntactic head. Each word after the first attaches directly to the first word.

Personal names are a common use of flat, as in o scrittô Poulo Foggetta “the writer Poulo Foggetta”:

1	o	o	DET	_	_	2	det	_	Gloss=the

3	Poulo	Poulo	PROPN	_	_	2	appos	_	Gloss=Poulo
4	Foggetta	Foggetta	PROPN	_	_	3	flat	_	Gloss=Foggetta

Names and foreign expressions whose internal syntactic structure is clear are analysed using their ordinary dependency relations.
