compound: compound
The compound relation is used primarily for noun-noun compounds (for various verb and verb-object compounds, see compound:dir, compound:ext, compound:quant, compound:vo, and compound:vv). This applies to any nominal preceding and modifying another nominal unless the relationship between the two is a possessive one (see nmod). The latter nominal is typically the head of the compound.
