and me
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + direct object marker particle אֵת with 1cs pronominal suffix; accusative pronoun form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the conjunction וְ ("and") with the direct-object marker אֵת bearing a 1st person common singular suffix, forming an accusative pronoun. In English this is best rendered simply as "and me," reflecting both the conjunction and the marked object function. |
