Well he may.
* He treads like a conqueror! And well he may.*
'well' comes before 'he' in the above sentence.
I think it's a inversion. but I don't understand the word order.
because I think that verb or modal verb comes before subject in a inversion.
Could you expalin the word order of 'well he may'?
Thanks in advance.
