iobj: indirect object

An indirect object is a nominal phrase which works as a core argument of the predicate but is neither a subject nor an object.

Indirect objects in Guajajara require the noun to be marked with the postposition upe.

uwexakar tɨwɨr hemiʔiwàkwer izupe no \n (He) took the older brother to the one who was wounded with the arrow
iobj(uwexakar, izupe)

The indirect object can also be pronominal, in which case the possessor pronoun is incorporated to the postposition.

Aha putar haikwer romo iʔi zekaipo izupe \n  I'll go after him, he (the older brother) said to her.
iobj(iʔi, izupe)
