obl: oblique nominal

The obl relation is used for a nominal (noun, pronoun, noun phrase) functioning as a non-core (oblique) argument or adjunct. This means that it functionally corresponds to an adverbial attaching to a verb, adjective or other adverb. In most cases, the oblique nominal is followed by a postposition.

Petrub ge oms ǃnâ go ǂgâ . \n Petru DECL house in RPST enter .
obl(ǂgâ, oms)
case(oms, ǃnâ)
obl(enter, house)
case(house, in)

The oblique nominal representing the agent of a passive verb is noted with the subtype obl:agent.
