flat:sibl: siblings

Whenever two or more tokens are supposed to be connected to the same head but cannot be connected in parallel, flat:sibl is used.

In the following example, the predicate consists of two uncoordinated adjectives. However, there can only be one root per sentence, so we threrefore connect the second adjective as flat:sibl to the first one to treat both of them as a single unit.

(Entire and linear are the terms for the form of leaf’s edge and body respectively and do not depend on each other.)

In the second example, flat:sibl is used to pack uncoordinated modifiers into a single conjunct, that is, conjoined here are oil ‘specifications’.

It’s incorrect because if you unroll the coordination, you will get

• I like olive organic oil. — wrong
• I like real organic oil.

instead of

• I like olive oil. — correct
• I like real organic oil.

Do not confuse flat:sibl with flat:abs used for absolutive constructions.
