Hmm... the very general {vay'} "someone, something; anyone, anything" works
for a general "subject" and {wanI'} "phenomenon, event, occurrence" isn't
bad for "predicate". ({ghu'} "situation" may be better when the predicate
is a quality rather than an action.) Of course, since they're specialized
uses of existing nouns you'd have to explain them whenever you used them.
