The position of prepositional adverbs
The following are of my own making.
1. I met her, who is jogging out.
2. I met her out jogging.
3. I met out her jogging.
4. I met her jogging out.
I'd like to know #1, #2, and #3 are the same in the meaning, in the kind of #1.
Thank you in advance for your help.
