IIRR Semitic was VSO, though SVO is fairly common in Hebrew.

As to Lojban word order, supposing it to have evolved from some Proto-Loglanic 
language instead of being constructed, it appears to me to have been SOV, as 
{naku} is easier to understand that way. Some verbs naturally make more sense 
in an SSVO construction, such as {frica}.
