Usage notes

  • The object particle is required in the following cases:
    1. An indirect object is attached to the verb, as a verb can't take two pronoun suffixes.

      (file)
    2. A pseudo verb is used, as the suffix pronoun is indicating the subject.

  • The object particle can be used to connect two pronouns.
