These are listed in https://universaldependencies.org/en/dep/fixed.html as advmod+fixed.

In the data, "kind" and "sort" are NOUNs. Superficially it is weird to have a NOUN attaching as advmod, but I guess fixed expressions warrant an exception.

EWT has obl:npmod (perhaps from automatic conversion) but I can change to advmod. GUM already has advmod.
