nmod:pre: preposed genitive

Standard word order would see nouns in the genitive following the noun which they modify. It is possible, however, for the genitive to precede the noun which governs the dependency. The subtype nmod:pre is used in Old Irish treebanks to identify such preposed genitives.

Examples

fairggae findḟolt “(the) ocean’s white hair”

aconmír “the dog’s morsel”

fidbaidae fál “a hedge of trees


nmod:pre in other languages: [sga]
