Note that for several pronoun stems, there are several distinct headwords. For example, for the stem 'asmad', there are 18 lines in the above listing, with distinct headwords
asma, asmat, asmad, aham, Ava, nO, ma, mat, mad, man, and vayam.
For the purpose of the inflected form displays, it seems best to single out one of these headwords; namely, 'asmad' (since that is same as what we are calling the 'stem' of this first person pronoun).
In the above listing, all the secondary headwords are commented out (line starting with ';' ). This commenting out tactic excludes these non-primary headwords.
Example of display: Only the primary pronominal headword is shown for the form 'vayam' of 'asmad':
