Appositive (ísl. viðurlag), as in Fagridalur [hinn eystri] 'Fagridalur the more.eastern', Henry [the king], John [the great], etc.

In cases where there is a word that is ambiguous between a demonstrative and a personal pronoun, followed by a noun and a suffixed determiner, our convention is to parse/tag this construction as a personal pronoun with an NP-PRN sister, consisting of the N and D.

Note that if a second determiner *follows* the N and D, even if this determiner is ambiguous in form between a personal pronoun and a demonstrative, we do not add the extra NP-PRN layer of structure.
