you-marked
| Morphological Notes | Direct object marker particle with 2nd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The particle אֵת functions as a marker indicating a definite direct object; with the 2nd person masculine singular suffix it specifies 'you' as the marked object of action. "You-marked" preserves both the pronominal suffix and the root’s core sense of marking or indicating. |
