Short Indirect-Object Pronouns

Short genitive pronouns can identify a recipient or experiencer before a verb.

How It Works

Short genitive pronouns can identify a recipient or experiencer before a verb.

The same forms can mark possession after a noun, but position and verb meaning distinguish the roles. With some verbs, a σε-phrase names the recipient instead.
