“Mr. A. J. Somers writes to say that the "V2" which caused the scrapping of "J17" 0-6-0, No. 8200, was not of the 2-6-2 type, but a considerably more destructive German rocket!”

“As all the Germanic languages are V2 languages (except English, which also has neither object shift nor scrambling), and as as the examples are main clauses without auxiliary verbs, the main verb has moved to C.”
