Note that in 1 and 2a, the here/now component is required in formal speech (a copula technically requires two noun phrases to connect), but could be dropped in the vernacular. 'Here' and 'now' usually require an explicit locative inflection, but the absolutive can be used in place of the adessive, as in this case.
