compound:lvc: light verb construction

In conjunct verb (or noun-verb concatenation) constructions, a semantically bleached light verb combines with a noun/adjective/adverb to form a single complex, taking semantics from the non-verbal component. The head is the verb.

Note that a genitive-case object is not treated as a nmod dependent of the nominal, but rather an obj argument to the verb.
