obj: direct object
The direct object of a verb is the noun that denotes the entity acted upon. In Middle Armenian the direct object most often is in the accusative case that usually has the proclitic particle զ/z, but also shares the form of nominative.
օձն խայթէ զմարդն (=զ մարդն) \n òjn xayt’ē zmardn \n the snake bites the man
obj(խայթէ, մարդն)
obj(bites, the-man)
գինն վճարէ \n ginn vč̣arē \n (he/she) pays the price
obj(վճարէ, գինն)
obj(pays, the-price)

IIf there is just one object, it should likely be obj unless it is morphosyntactically more similar to clear cases of iobj. This is an amended policy as described on the changes page.
If there are two or more objects, one of them should be obj and the others should be iobj. In such cases it is necessary to decide what is the most
directly affected object (patient). When there is a clausal complement, then it is regarded as a “clausal direct object” and an object nominal will be an iobj.
There is more discussion of constructions with multiple objects on the page for iobj.
