2.1.2, I think. It has a few borrowings, but all but one are
unintentional.

> The possible orders are: SVO/SOV/VSO/VOS/OSV/OVS/free/doesn't apply
> Which order(s) is/are most common?
SOV

> Which orders are possible?
SOV, SVO (in poetry or when the object is a whole sentence that's too
unwieldy to put in the object slot; it's usually replaced by a
pronoun where it ought to be), OSV (ditto).

No, except that there's no object, of course.

> If it doesn't apply, why?
n/a
