| Morphological Notes | Particle; direct object marker; invariable form without gender or number. |
| Rendering Rationale | This form functions as the grammatical marker that indicates a definite direct object. Since it carries no independent lexical meaning in standard usage, "object-marker" best reflects its role as a marker derived from a root meaning "to mark" or "to indicate." |
