appos: appositional modifier

An appositional modifier of a noun is a nominal immediately following the first noun that serves to define or modify that noun (aposto). It includes parenthesized examples, as well as defining abbreviations in one of these structures. This relation is universal.

appos is also used to link key-value pairs in addresses, signatures, etc. (see also the list label):
