an apposition (прикладка). There are no special differences in the

name of an object. It is expressed with the help of a prepositional
word combination with the preposition of, for example: the
continent of Europe, the city of London, the name of Lincoln and

modified noun: місто Львів, село Іванівка, ім'я Лінкольн;
2) similar to it is the word combination with the preposition
of, where the main noun renders the characteristic of some notion,

combinations correspond in Ukrainian to negative comparisons of
the type не ..., a ... . Compare: a brute of a man — не людина, а
звір; a jewel of a picture — не картина, а перл
