Usage notes

 * In Old English, you usually comb someone's head, not their hair (Hū, ne wilt þū þīn hēafod cemban ǣr þū tō scōle gā? = “Don't you want to comb your hair [lit. head] before you go to school?”), or else you comb the person themselves (Sēo mōdor cemde þæt ċild  = “The mother combed the child's hair [lit. the child]”).
