I don't like to think of ko'a ko'e broda or ko'a broda ko'e as more
standard than the other, but broda fa ko'a ko'e is definitely marked.
That is, Lojban is an inherently SV language, with VS structures
possible but atypical, but it is not inherently SOV or SVO. Thanks to
most Lojbanists being native speakers of SVO languages, however, the
SVO structure (ko'a broda ko'e) is certainly the more common one in
practice, though sometimes one form or the other is somewhat
inconvenient.
