In German, an attributive AP is wrapped around a N : the adjective precedes, but the comparison NP follows the N:

  • (ein) ebenso grosses (Tier) wie dieser Hund [an animal as big as this dog]
  • (ein) kleineres (Tier) als dieser Hund [an animal smaller than this dog]

Attributive AP containing a sentential complement are post-nominal (uninflected) modifiers:

  • (ein) Student, froh [darüber], das Examen bestanden zu haben, [a student glad to have passed the exam]
  • instead of: (ein) [darüber,] das Examen bestanden zu haben, froher Student

I also changed Quant to remove a recently used bug that raised a metavariable when parsing contracted defArt+pronoun
