mandatos informales plurales

Trying to figure out what "dejáos" and "subíos" mean. My guess is that "dejáos" comes from "dejad os", reflexive 2nd person plural informal command of dejar. Could it be that the final "d' is dropped when joining the verb with the pronoun, like "vamonos"? Same for "subíos" -> "subid os"?
Entiendo que estes construcciones están usado solamente en España.

When forming the positive command for the 2nd person plural of pronominal verbs, the "d" is dropped before the attachment of the pronoun. For example:
"Levantaos" / "Get up". When the verb is an -ir verb, an accent mark is employed to prevent an unintended pronunciation of the vowel combination "io". For example:
"Vestíos" / "Get dressed" (behs-tee'-ohs)
