The finite-length trapping and (elementary) absorbing set enumerators for nonbinary protograph-based LDPC code ensembles are derived. Both constrained and unconstrained edge labeling approaches are considered. The normalized logarithmic asymptotic distributions of trapping and (elementary) absorbing sets are obtained through an efficient method that requires solving a system of equations. Using these results, the asymptotic distributions of trapping and (elementary) absorbing sets are evaluated for some example nonbinary protograph-based LDPC code ensembles.
