'O [addressee]':
The case of subject and/or direct object of a transitive verb. Ex:
Opë ofambutua fafanis
1SFirst person singular (person)
speaker, signer, etc.; I 1SFirst person singular (person)
speaker, signer, etc.; I-smoke cigarette
"I smoke a cigarette"
Basically, for nouns as a direct object, there is only the basic case. The exception of this is the pronouns, because there is still a distinction between the subject and the object, that came from the accusative case prefixe -isi :
Opë otsujua junkis
1SFirst person singular (person)

TRANS direct object; patient

The case of the possessor.
