And another question for the Dhegihanists

[Bryan James Gordon]

Does anyone know whether any Dhegiha languages allow sentences with a bare
argument (either subject or object), followed by a determined argument,
followed by the verb? i.e., N - N - D - V

Can't find any or remember any for the life of me. I wonder if bare N's
generally have to stay closer to the verb than determined ones do.

(I'm not counting examples where the first one is the possessor of the
second, as these have a different structure, e.g. Rabbit his.son the knew)
