obl: oblique nominal

The obl relation is used for a nominal (noun, pronoun, noun phrase) functioning as a non-core (oblique) argument or adjunct. This means that it functionally corresponds to an adverbial attaching to a verb, adjective or other adverb.

The LSE makes very little use of adpositions and it is common for nominals that function as non-core arguments or adjuncts to be unmarked.
