A pronoun object often precedes the verb, its inflected form determining its relationship: þe biscopes and lered men heom cursede ævre, 1/50–1. The same order is possible with a noun object, and even a noun object with a relative clause, as lordes here: that sche þe lordes ate feste / That were obeissant to his heste / Mai knowe, ‘so that at the feast she may get to know the lords who were subject to him’, 13/103–5.
