Crossword Genius

What intransitive verb has is insignificant (2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

no object

This clue is a double definition.

'what intransitive verb has' is the first definition.
(an intransitive verb has no grammatical object)

'insignificant' is the second definition.
(no object can mean insignificant or not important)

'is' is the link.

(Another definition for no object that I've seen is " not a problem".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
