obj: object
The object of a transitive verb is its second core argument after its subject. If a third argument, an indirect object without a preposition*, is present, that object is marked as iobj (2), but if the only object present is an indirect object, it is still marked as obj (3).
* Note that indirect objects preceded by a preposition are treated as obl (oblique).
