What's the difference between the verb coming as second constituent of a
sentence and SVO? Or has that do with German splitting infinitives and
English not doing so? Or did you confuse the letters and meant that German
does *not* use SOV in main clauses or coordinated subclauses, although it's
said to be famous for the verb coming last?
Thanks,
Carsten
