nsubj:ifoc: nominal subject of an instrumental-focused verb
In an analogy to nsubj:pass, nsubj:ifoc signals that the mapping between syntactic functions
and semantic roles is non-standard. Specifically, the verb is in the instrumental-focused Voice,
hence the subject specifies an instrument rather than the agent.

nsubj:ifoc(Ipinansulat, makinilya)
nsubj:ifoc(wrote.with, typewriter)
