Apropos of nothing but the subject line:
In Danish, some verbs can take either 'is' or 'have', with an
aspectual difference:
Han er nok l=F8bet -- He probably ran off
[when someone asks why he's not here now].
Han har nok l=F8bet -- He probably went for a run
[when someone asks why he's all sweaty].
