Can a disease really gasnu anything?  It doesn't seem to be a person or agent.  Nor does an event.  I think we have to stick with {rinka/ri'a}

Does {le nei} get the right thing either time?  In the first it seems to be the disease but comes out as a symptom -- unless it is theill person himself as a symptom or the cause of the weakness as a symptom (exactly which predication counts as the current one is obscure, but none of them seem to work).  Much the same problems occur in the second case, though the choice of corect readings is somewhat harder to spell out in English, except as possibly superfluous.
