Example 71-115

intens
[My] head is in pain.
Comment:
This example is constructed from: Kela Kipau hahau kela poo, eha no (own data, 1885), 'Kipau whipped my head, [and it] was pained'. But here eha lacks an overt subject. However it conforms to the form of other statements about body parts in pain in the data (see Example 117) and it also conforms to Example 116 which does concern a headache per se. INTENS=intensifier.
