us [us]

pron.

[ME us, ous (acc. & dat. of we: see WE) < OE us, dat., but also used, beside usic, as acc., akin to Ger uns < IE base * ns- < * nes-, * nos-, pl. of * ne-, * no-, we > L nos, we]

objective form of WE [help us; give us the books ]: also used as a predicate complement with a linking verb, although this usage is objected to by some [ it's us]
