Yes, I think that's the reason. Since commands were marked by the
absence of x1, for "dunda ta mi" to mean "give that to me" the
arguments to the right had to start from x2.

The other justification I heard is that you usually want ko'a in "lo
broda be ko'a", or in "da poi broda ko'a" to fall in the x2 place.
