Line 56: </table> * The third person forms ''o'', ''a'', ''os'', and ''as'' may present the variants ''lo'', ''la'', ''los'', ''las'', ''no'', ''na'', ''nos'', and ''nas''.: * ''Lo'', ''la'', ''los'', and ''las'' are used after verbal forms ending with a consonant, which is elided. Examples: ''seduz'' + ''a'' = ''sedu-la'', ''faz'' + ''o'' = ''fá-lo'', ''diz'' + ''o'' = ''di-lo'', ''destróis'' + ''os'' = ''destrói-los'' (different from ''destrói-os'', in which the verb is conjugated in the imperative mood), ''comes'' + ''a'' = ''come-la'' (different from ''come-a''), ''apanha-las'' (''apanhas'' + ''as''), ''amá-lo'' (''amar'' +''o''), ''fazê-lo'' (''fazer'' + ''o''), ''partire-lo'' (''partires'' +''o''), ''tem-la'' (''tens'' + ''a'', notice how the ''n'' changes into an ''m''). * This also occurs when the pronoun is in mesoclitic position: ''matá-lo-ás'' (''matarás'' + ''o''), ''fá-lo-ias'' (''farias'' + ''o''), ''feri-lo-ias'' (''ferir'' + ''o''), ''comê-lo-ias'' (''comer'' + ''o'').
