Alternation ‘nominative experiencer’ (Uncoded)

Some experiential verbs, e.g. hyngran and lician, generally have a non-nominative experiencer (either accusative or dative). However, they seem to marginally allow the expression of the experiencer in the nominative. This is the first step towards the inversion of the construction in the history of the language.
