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.
