The word order for Vakajao is generally OAuxSV. This is loose and normally used for formal writings. In day to day speech a loose OSV is maintained with object and subject being marked.
Because the object and subject are marked word order is less of a concern sentences are free to morph a bit and change order. An example of this can bee seen in this sentence.
It can be rearranged and still keep it's meaning. An example can bee seen here.
