me (object-marked)
| Morphological Notes | Direct object marker particle with 1st common singular pronominal suffix; functions as an accusative pronoun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The particle אֵת functions as a direct object marker; with the 1st common singular suffix it designates the speaker as the definite object of a verb. The rendering "me (object-marked)" preserves the accusative force inherent in the particle plus suffix. |
