obl: oblique modifier

The obl relation is used for non-core nominal dependents of clausal predicates. In Swedish, nmod is used for prepositional complements/modifiers:

Mamma har hand om barnen \n Mother takes care of the children
obl(har, barnen)
case(barnen, om)
Han växte upp i en kollektiv miljö \n He grew up in a collective environment
obl(växte, miljö)
case(miljö, i)

But also for bare nominals used as oblique modifiers:

Hon kom förra helgen \n She came last weekend
obl(kom, helgen)

One subtype of obl is introduced in Swedish: obl:agent for agents of passive verbs.
