To do:

What is the Baywatch word order for "the man used his knife"? Is it

1. si ppē si e nō

   The man, he used knife

2. si ppē e nō

   The man used knife

3. si ppē e si nō

   The man used his knife

There are no precedents to follow in other languages because they did not have this word order.

Order #3 probably works best in an SVO language, since the /e/ functions as a verb. (This means it would need the tense prefix on.) Orer #1 goes best with the proto-language and all the other languages in the world, since those are SOV.

It is possible that order #2 would mean "the man used a knife".
