Comment: The 2sg objective has irregularly lost the initial /r/ (except in one dialect, Mawata). The non-singular forms are the same; it's only the singulars that change. There's some stuff I find surprising here, but (equally as surprising) I can't fault the source too much; what he describes also is attested in provided texts!
