Notes:
- When there is one accusative object pronoun, the "object 2" forms are used. When there are multiple object forms, all but the last take the "object 1" forms. This only applies to accusative objects since other clitic object pronouns are formed from the "object 1" stem regardless of position.
- Non-accusative clitic object pronouns are formed by adding case endings to the "object 1" forms.
