Person[obj]: person of the object
Person of the object suffix of a verb.

In the experience, possession and obligation constructions, the suffix indexes the experiencer, the possessor or the obliged person, while the subject agreement is 3rd person masculine singular or agrees with the possessed entity. Applicative suffixes (with the element -l-) are recorded separately, by Person[app].
