Notes:

  • When there is one accusative object pronoun, either the "object 1" or "object 2" forms can be used. When there are multiple clitic objects, the final one takes the "object 2" form and the rest the "object 1" form. This only applies to accusative objects; other clitic object pronouns are formed from the same stem regardless of position.
  • Non-accusative clitic object pronouns are formed by adding case endings to the "object 1" forms for 1st and 2nd persons and the "object 2" forms for 3rd person.
