re: stative verbs

Hi,
I have a question concerning the stative verb discussion.  If verbs that
didn't have the "be such-and-such" type of definition were okay to use as
adjectives, why does Okrand use {qetbogh loD} to translate "running man" in
the "4,000 throats" proverb rather than just say {loD qet}?

Honestly curious,

Banzai
