2) Used if the direct object is a third-person non-human object, e.g. to- + a-ta-, etc.
3) When it is attached to an object prefix, it loses the -o, e.g. mio- + ni-mini- (except when it is attached to the third-person plural object prefix ki-, e.g. mio- + ki-mioki-).
4) Attached to the first-person singular object prefix i-, the prefix yo- becomes i-, i.e. yo- + i-ini-.
