sed '/^$/d
s/* */*\
/2
P
D' inputfile

using mawk 1.3.3 under linux, given your data are in file "test", this would do:
Code:
awk 'split ($0, A, $1) {printf "%s%s\n%s%s\n", $1, A[2], $1, A[3]}' test

resulting in:
Code:
abc 123 3234 1234 * qqoiki *  
abc 4533 34 1234 * lloiki *

Code:
sed 's/\([^ ]*\)\(.*\)\(\1.*\)/\1\2\
\3/' infile

Code:
awk 'gsub($1,RS $1) && sub(RS,x)' infile
