Actant 1: whose neck it is
(a) Genitive
(b) Possessive
Ћн крљпко обхватќл шљю сІна. He threw his arms around his son's neck, and hugged him.
Егћ шљя былђ чёрная от загђра. His neck was brown from the sun.
NB When the word шљя functions as a subject and does not have a descriptive modifier, the construction шљя у + Genitive is often preferred to (a) and (b), above:
Шљя у негћ былђ чёрная от загђра. His neck was brown from the sun.
