Syntactic actants

Actant 1: whose head it is
(a) Genitive
(b) Possessive
Ещё издалекђ ї увќдел кудрївую гћлову Натђши. While still a good distance away I caught sight of Natasha's curly head.
Егћ головђ былђ прђвильной фћрмы. He had a well-shaped head.
NB When the word головђ functions as a subject and does not have a descriptive modifier, the construction головђ у + Genitive is often preferred to (a) and (b), above:
Головђ у негћ былђ прђвильной фћрмы. He had a well-shaped head.
