Primary Object and Secondary Object.
Some languages (mainly from Africa?) treat Indirect Objects the same as
Objects of single-object sentences (Primary Object), and Direct Objects of
two-object sentences have their own method of being marked (Secondary
Object).
My lang Thagojian actually has some measure of split marking for all three
types of Object.
