Comment:
This example shows an experiencer construction. The first clause is similar to a typical transitive possessive construction with habi 'have'; in the second clause the possessor/experiencer is also the subject but here the verb is kisi 'get'; in the third clause, with the same verb, the subject is the possessor/sensation and the possessor/experiencer the object. Cf. Feature 66 "Experiencer constructions: 'headache'".
