Syntactic actants

Actant 1: whose moustache it is
(a) Genitive
(b) Possessive
Усы Коли мне не нравятся. I don't like Kolya's moustache.
Его усы были надушены. His moustache was perfumed.
NB When the word усы functions as a subject and does not have a descriptive modifier, the construction усы у + Genitive is often preferred to (a) and (b), above:
Усы у Коли были надушены. Kolya's moustache was perfumed.
