xcomp: open clausal complement
Some verbs (e.g. ਚਾਹੁਣਾ cāhuṇā “to want”) can select a clausal complement that does not have its own subject, instead with the subject being a sister of that complement (e.g. the object of the verb).
ਮੈਂ ਜਾਣਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ ਹਾਂ \n I to.go want am
nsubj(ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ, ਮੈਂ)
nsubj(want, I)
xcomp(ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ, ਜਾਣਾ)
xcomp(want, to.go)
Such complemenets can also take genitive, ablative, or accusative case licensed by the verb.
