and object-marker
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + particle אֵת; direct object marker with no inherent lexical meaning; no gender or number. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction וְ (“and”) prefixed to אֵת, the accusative direct object marker. Since אֵת functions grammatically to mark the definite object of a verb and carries no lexical meaning in most cases, the rendering reflects both the conjunction and its marking function. |
