If fsna menas "a happens", then "li smi fsnifi" would have to mean
something like "things happen as they happen", or "things happen in
the event in which they happen". Even if you say that the event that
happens and the event of it happening are necessarily different
things, it doesn't seem to be something that the grammar should
impose.
