Dependency parsing for Turkic
acl: Clausal modifier of a noun
relcl: Relative clause modifier
advcl: adverbial clause modifier
Adverbial clause modifiers (advcl) are subordinate clauses that are not complements. Also non-complement infinitival or temporal clauses and non-complement participles modifying verbs are marked as advcl.
In Turkic, verbal adverbs (gna_) will take this label if they modify a main verb.

advmod: adverb modifier
The dependency type advmod is used for adverb modifiers of verbs, nominals and adverbs alike.

Sveta come.COND, soon return.PRES.3sg. COMP tell.IMP.PL
"If Sveta comes, tell her I'll return soon."
amod: adjectival modifier
Nouns may take adjectival modifiers, which are marked with the dependency type amod. It is also possible for an adjective to take another adjective as a modifier. (These adjectival modifiers are generally expressed with -ly adverbs in English.)
_____amod_____

Мергенде солун номнар бар.
Mergen.LOC interesting book.PL existing.
_____amod_____
| |
Мәргәндә кызыклы китаплар бар.
Mergen.LOC interesting book.PL existing.
"Mergen has some interesting books."
cmpnd: compound
cmpnd is used for noun compounds. Nouns should modify the next noun in the compound in order to respect the branching structure.
Most uses of attr will be tagged with cmpnd:
Nouns in the izafet construction (e.g. possessive on the final noun) should not get the cmpnd tag.

Мартан-оол март аеннан сентябрь аена кадәр Кызылда яшәгән .
Martan-ool March month.3.ABL September month.3.DAT until Kyzyl.LOC live.PAST.3SG
(Note 3 person possessives, hence no cmpnd labels).
"Martan-ool was living in Kyzyl from March until September"
case: case
The dependency type case is used for the postposition in postpositional phrases. The head of an postpositional phrase is the nominal, not the postposition, so as to analyse postpositional phrases similarly to nominal modifiers without a postposition (e.g. when using local "cases") To the same end, the type case is used in combination with the type nmod, which is also used for nominal modifiers when no adposition is present (see nmod).
Note that case is not used with auxiliary nouns (sometimes called "postpositions") in the form of N¹.gen N².poss.case, for those nmod should be used (following treatment in English of prepositional constructions like "in front of").

nmod: nominal modifier
nmod is a noun (or noun phrase) functioning as a non-core (oblique) argument or adjunct. This means that it functionally corresponds to an adverbial when it attaches to a verb, adjective or other adverb. But when attaching to a noun, it corresponds to an attribute, or genitive complement (the terms are less standardized here).
