I don't think pronouns are ever "clipped"; they can be left out
if they are not functioning as verbs, but that is not clipping.
It doesn't make sense to use imperative with pronouns-as-verbs,
so where is the evidence for clipping of pronouns?
would you accept {Ha'DIbaH targh'e'} as clipped Klingon?
