No contraction in 3rd person is exactly what we have in Croatian:

pi^ta:m, pi^ta:s^, pi^ta:, pi^ta:mo, pi^ta:te, pítaju:

(notice the rising accent and short -a- in the 3rd person plural). In Old
Croatian, I guess there was also pitaju (the accent would be *pítaju),
although I'm not sure it's attested, but it was soon levelled to -a:m by
the analogy to -a:s^ etc.
