today we use this order in interrogations too, don't we? In English it
doesn't work very properly but in other languages it works: "welches
Buch habe ich?" "s^to kniga imam ia", "ce carte am eu", "�'lib�r kam
un�" where after "which" one has object-verb-subject. But this kind of
interrogation is a durative too..
