me (object‑marked)
| Morphological Notes | Direct object marker particle אֵת with 1st person common singular pronominal suffix; accusative form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The particle אֵת functions as a direct object marker; with the 1st person common singular suffix it specifies the speaker as the definite object of a verb. "Me (object‑marked)" preserves both the accusative force and the attached suffix. |
