It seems to me like the abstract concept of virtue (lo ka vrude) is fundamentally different from a specific event of something being virtuous (lo nu vrude) which are both different things, I think, from a thing being a virtuous entity (lo vrude).
I can see that {lo vrude} may be differentiated from {lo ka vrude} and {lo nu vrude} for practical reasons. But how is {lo ka vrude} so significantly different from {lo nu vrude}? Both are abstract in that they don't refer to a concrete individual object. And {lo nu vrude} isn't necessarily a *specific* event of something being virtuous, just like {lo nu klama} can mean any kind of event of going. {lo nu vrude} can even be conceptual or non-factual, just like {lo nu mi ricfu traji} can refer to an imaginary event.
