I think Mike asked a good question:

My hypothesis would be:
The things that can go with a verb are the subject, the object,
adverbial modifiers denoting the time, the place, the reason, the manner
of the event or the process denoted by the verb. These things, i.e.
the subject, the object, the time, the place, the reason, and the manner
can be denoted by the genitive of a verbal noun.
