Two objects, two treatments: the thing owed is the direct object with -n, the creditor takes . English says "I owe you ten francs" with both bare, so the trap is writing , which claims you owe somebody's actual person. The noun is a debt, the debtor and i means to put someone in your debt. Figurative use works exactly as in English - you can owe your life, your success or your thanks to somebody.
