Quickie:

Is there a linguistic universal that links the order of S, O and V
within a sentance to any particular order of Adverb+Verb or
Adjective+Noun?  If so, is there any guideline for the orders

VS
SVO
SIVO

(I = Indirect Object)

If it helps, the usual case marking is

V1
2V1
32V1

For the examples above, respectively.
