obj: direct object
The direct object of a verb is the noun that denotes the entity acted upon. Most often the direct object is in the nominative case, or in dative, sometimes in ablative. Note that certain intransitive (middle voice) verbs take arguments in dative which should be regarded as core based on their syntactic behavior being parallel to the arguments of other transitive verbs (see also the related features Voice and Subcat).

##
If 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.
