LOL. I seem to remember (was it from Carlos Thompson?) that Colombian Sign Language or some other sign languages from South America was OSV or OVS (can't remember exactly). Is my memory completely defect? :)) Maybe that's what you heard of... Christophe Grandsire. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
