Datapoint Kriol/Experiencer constructions with ‘headache’

Constructions specifically involving 'headache' only seem to allow the experiencer in subject position, with 'headache' as a nominal or verb. Other expressions of pain (also illustrated here, e.g. Example 209) employ a possessor-raising construction, with the experiencer in subject position, a verb like het 'hurt' and the body part as a chomeur argument which is unmarked.
