NoAMark

NoAMark: The function A is not explicitly marked, while S, P, or both are marked. A is therefore marked with a zero (∅) morpheme.

(1)tudostaťja-žə-mvoz-a.
(s)hearticle3SGACCwrite3SG
’(S)he is writing her/his article.’ (Riese et al. 2022: 72)

(2)tudotol-eš.
(s)hecome3SG
’(S)he is coming.’ (T. E.)

In Meadow Mari the pronouns with an A function (1) or an S function (2) are unmarked, as opposed to the P function, which is marked with the accusative case suffix (1).
