Obejmujcej

Obejmujcej is a nonstandard form observed in some Polish-language texts. It is not a recognized inflection or participle in standard Polish grammar. The closest standard counterpart is obejmującej, the feminine present participle of the verb obejmować meaning “embracing” (in forms such as genitive or locative singular).

Origin and meaning: The form appears to be a misspelling or typographical variant of obejmującej. It may arise from keyboard errors, OCR misreads, or experimental transliteration when diacritics are omitted or altered. Since Polish uses diacritics (ą, ę, ć, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź, ż), nonstandard spellings can appear in informal texts.

Usage and acceptance: Because it is not part of standard spelling or grammar, obejmujcej is typically considered incorrect in edited writing. In linguistic discussions, it may be cited as an example of orthographic variation or error rather than a productive form.

Relation to Polish grammar: It illustrates how participial endings in Polish can be corrupted by typographic factors. The proper form for a feminine present participle in genitive or locative would be obejmującej; for the nominative feminine it would be obejmująca.
