@Meuser, Dalek could already infer. Do you happen to be somewhere from Australia?

Actually, word order isn't completely that. Imagine a sentence "A man sees a house", where "a man" is the subject, "sees" is the verb and "a house" is the object.

There are 6 word orders yeah. These are, in order of decreasing frequency: SOV, SVO, VSO, VOS, OVS and OSV.
