Sorry, I just reread this and find the extra
specification (which I did not take into account
in my previous post) exclusive of most of the
examples of b-noun VSO I mentioned. I don't
really see why such is necessary as you can have
"free-range" sentences with wSVOs attached to
them. It should be sufficient that that it is
obvious that phrases such as bywm govern VSOs.
The rest follows.
