Following the English corpora, following the Brown corpus, we tag a certain set of words as "RP" any time they do not take a complement.

The Icelandic equivalents to the above list of words (see link) include, at least (this list in progress): Á, AF, FRAM, HJÁ, Í, NIÐUR, MEÐ, TIL, UPP, ÚT, VIÐ

(MEÐ and VIÐ not following ppcme2, but following the early new high german corpus and penn yiddish corpus).

Note that Á is tagged RP when it does not take a complement, but P elsewhere. Where Á modifies a PP, it is parsed as an RP specifier of PP where possible.

Note that the following are tagged ADV, projecting an ADVP-DIR or ADVP-LOC: EFTIR, INNAN, INNI, FRAMAN, FRAMMI, OFAN, NEÐAN, NIÐRI, UPPI, UTAN, ÚTI,

These are generally clause (IP)-level constituents, unless they appear in the specifier of a PP, as in the following examples:

(PP (RP Upp-upp)
    (P-D af-af)
    (NP (N-NSDIC héraði-hérað) (D-PNSD því-það))
 (PP (RP Fram-fram)
     (P-D af-af)
     (NP (N-MSDIC dal-dalur) (D-DMSD þessum-þessi)))
