I tend to think that if an event= can be/do something, then a
person/object can too. Otherwise it is not = clear why some
words can apply to both events and persons while others can't.
For e= xample, compare {tcica} with {sidju}. x1 of sidju is used
both for peopl= e and for events. What makes {tcica}
so different?
 
Hmmm. You won. :)
