SIBI-P1 H854-01

self-same (definite object marker)

Morphological NotesUninflected particle (HTo); functions as the definite direct object marker before nouns or noun phrases. It does not vary for gender, number, or person.
Rendering RationaleThough functioning grammatically as a direct object marker, אֵת likely derives from a root meaning "sign" or "mark," pointing out and marking a specific entity. The rendering "self-same" preserves this demonstrative force of marking out the definite object, while recognizing that the form is an uninflected particle with no gender, number, or person distinctions.
