nsubj: nominal subject
A nominal subject (nsubj) is a nominal which is the syntactic subject of a clause. In Georgian a nominal subject is a nominal which is the (ergative, nominative or dative) subject of the verbal predicate. The governor of this relation is typically a verb with the following exceptions: when the verb is a copular verb, the nsubj relation is headed by the complement of the copular verb, which can be an adjective or a noun. E.g.
მას ჟამსა აღდგა კაიაფა/NOUN მღდელთმოძღუარი... \n 'At that time Caiaphas, the high priest, arose...'
nsubj(აღდგა, კაიაფა)
და ვითარცა იხილა წმიდამან სტეფანემ/NOUN დიდებაჲ იგი ღმრთისაჲ. \n 'And when Saint Stephen saw that glory of God...'
nsubj(იხილა, სტეფანემ)
obj(იხილა, დიდებაჲ)
არღარა ეყივნოს ქათამსა/NOUN დღეს... (ლ. 22,34) \n 'The hen will not crow today.'
nsubj(ეყივნოს, ქათამსა)
NB Note that when the verb is used in the passive voice the nominal syntactic subject is marked with the subtype nsubj:pass. When the subject is clausal, it’s preferable to use other specialized relations (csubj or its subtype csubj:pass.
