obj: direct object

The obj dependency (object) is used to relate the second core argument of a transitive verb (the first core argument of the verb is the subject). Usually, it is a noun phrase that either denotes the entity acted upon or undergoes a change state of motion (the proto-patient). In nominative-accusative languages, the object is mainly in the accusative case:

"those who have this oil"
obj(ímot, zejtíne)   note:  “zejtíne” is in accusative case
{
    "text": "žíne ímot isók zejtíne ",
    "entities": [
        [ "embedded-1-T1", "token", [ [ 0, 4 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-1-T2", "token", [ [ 5, 9 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-1-T3", "token", [ [ 10, 14 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-1-T4", "token", [ [ 15, 22 ] ] ]
    ],
    "relations": [],
    "attributes": [],
    "error": true,
    "sentlabels": [ "1" ]
}

In Pomak the object is predominantly in the accusative case. Certain verbs select objects in the genitive/dative case (note: kópeløtune is in genetive/dative case, note: mómajne is in genetive/dative case):

Do note that indirect objects are marked with the iobj dependency and are always marked with the genetive/dative case:
