I think the problem is that "Fred's illness" is ambiguous between "the kind of illness Fred has" and "the particular instance of illness that Fred has". Cancer is undoubtedly more debilitating than diarrhea, but if Fred's cancer is in remission it may be less debilitating than George's full-blast travelers' trots. The "instance of" is an event, but the "kind of" is probably not an event.
{lo kenra be la fred} would be a particular instance, and
{lo'e kenra (be zi'o?)} would be the generic. How would we
express the illness as an event, given that {bilma} has a place
for the disease? What selbri could we use? Is it {le nu bilma
cu rinka le nu ruble}, or {le te bilma cu rinka le nu ruble}?
