nmod:desc: descriptor modifier in nominal
In Ruuli, the nmod:desc relation is used for nominal descriptors, i.e. nouns that modify a name and provide classification or disambiguation (e.g. titles and roles). These elements are optional and can be omitted without affecting grammaticality.
Typical cases include nouns of titles and roles associated with personal names.
