In Lojban, the two are equivalent (as far as I know), and it's a matter of style
whether you stick arguments "higher" than x1 on the left or the right of the
selbri.

But, practically, it is much more sense to put the "higher argument"
where it will be heard or read first. It makes your sentence more
coherent to your listener or reader. And it gets straight to the point.

"I you gave me the cat like" sounds kinda caveman-ish to me ;-o

mi'e nei,omis.
