It seems like it's important that there be something "concrete" before the inverted part: for example, while "he ran where was Regina" is wrong, you could say something like "he ran to the place where stood Regina." Do note that that example would never be used in conversation! Instead, it might be used in a written passage, for literary effect. | |
