==Function==
{{tp|e}} marks the verb's [[direct object]], the thing to which the subject of the sentence does the action. A verb with a direct object is called a transitive verb.<ref>See Hopper, Paul J., and Sandra A. Thompson. “Transitivity in Grammar and Discourse.” Language, vol. 56, no. 2, 1980, pp. 251–99. JSTOR, https://doi.org/10.2307/413757. Accessed 16 Jan. 2024.</ref> When the action has more than one target, the particle [[e]] introduces each new direct object.
{{tp|e}} marks the [[direct object]] of the verb. The [[direct object]] is the thing to which the action is done.
