In what way are the parenthetical remarks not exactly what you're looking for?

djica: x1 desires/wants/wishes x2 (event/state) for purpose x3

Right there it's specifying that the x2 is an event or state. Now, we
probably need to review them and fill in anything that's missing (like
the x3 above, and nandu1). But it's not a *gismu* that has a type,
it's individual places in a selbri.

None of the places of bajra (except maybe the x4) can do that.

Again, the important thing is which individual places accept what
sorts of arguments. The gismu itself just relates those places.
