Proponents of the "gahes mich" reading choose to ignore this rather than address it, even though (going by what Torsten wrote above), Huth changed the word order himself to the perfectly acceptable "so nimm mich ganz."
Regarding word order, is there a plausible case of a foreign speaker messing up the word order? I know that as an english speaker, I constantly mess up the order of words in dutch sentences. (although this word order would be unnatural in both in this example). That being said, if I were to hear "so take quickly me and my friend okay?" from a (non-fluent) dutch or other foreign speaker it wouldn't surprise me.
Would a language like latin, or others, accept the word order? I can imagine a non-fluent speaker simply translating the sentence without too much thought on the word order, especially on the last page, perhaps as practice or a note.
