>>From the point of view of usual head/dependent orderings, virtually ALL European
languages should have postposed definite articles and demonstratives just as
they do adjectives.  But among SVO languages especially there are lots of
exceptions to the "usual".

You have a couple of crusty old (well only one is crusty and old) Balkanists on
this lists and I'm waiting for Catherine to check in.  :-)
