mwe: multi-word expression

The multi-word expression (modifier) relation is one of the three relations (compound, mwe, name) for compounding. It is used for certain fixed grammaticized expressions that behave like function words or short adverbials. The first word is always taken as the head, with all subsequent words as direct dependents.

i dag \n today
mwe(i, dag)
över huvud taget \n at all
mwe(över, huvud)
mwe(över, taget)
när det gäller \n when it comes to
mwe(när, det)
mwe(när, gäller)
