This relation can be further specified by the case, in conjunction with which it may provide a uniform analysis for variant forms as adpositions that are governed a case:

In the Pomak treebank, the obl dependency has been applied to the so-called “ethic dative”:

lit: children-to-the is-it pleasant...
"the children like to..." 
obl (drágo, dečómne)                       note:  *dečómne*  is in genetive/dative case
{
    "text": "dečómne je drago... ",
    "entities": [
        [ "embedded-2-T1", "token", [ [ 0, 7 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-2-T2", "token", [ [ 8, 10 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-2-T3", "token", [ [ 11, 19 ] ] ]
    ],
    "relations": [],
    "attributes": [],
    "error": true,
    "sentlabels": [ "2" ]
}

In the case of an ethic dative, when the strong and the weak type of the personal pronoun co-occur, then the strong type is assigned the obl dependency and the weak type the expl one:
