The page gives the verse in Biblical Aramaic as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Aramaic — and its pragmatics: who acts — king — and what happens in the verse to wise men, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 12 chapters of Daniel on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. כָּל־קֳבֵ֣ל דְּנָ֔ה מַלְכָּ֕א בְּנַ֖ס וּקְצַ֣ף שַׂגִּ֑יא וַאֲמַר֙ לְה֣וֹבָדָ֔ה לְכֹ֖ל חַכִּימֵ֥י בָבֶֽל׃ [For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.33/) ## The tree {#tree} This verse is in Biblical Aramaic, as the book has it here; its tree is MACULA's Aramaic tree. Right to left, as it is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one. Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc-arc:DAN:8 # text = כָּל־קֳבֵ֣ל דְּנָ֔ה מַלְכָּ֕א בְּנַ֖ס וּקְצַ֣ף שַׂגִּ֑יא וַאֲמַר֙ לְה֣וֹבָדָ֔ה לְכֹ֖ל חַכִּימֵ֥י בָבֶֽל׃ # verse = DAN.2.12 1-2 כָּל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 כָּ כְּ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=as|Ref=DAN_2:12!1|MId=o270020120011|Strong=3509d|Lang=arc 2 ל־ לְ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_2:12!1|MId=o270020120012|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 3 קֳבֵ֣ל קֳבֵל NOUN _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=because|Ref=DAN_2:12!2|MId=o270020120021|Strong=6903|Lang=arc 4 דְּנָ֔ה דְּנָה DET _ PronType=Dem 3 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=DAN_2:12!3|MId=o270020120031|Strong=1836|Lang=arc 5-6 מַלְכָּ֕א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 מַלְכּ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_2:12!4|MId=o270020120041|Strong=4430|Lang=arc 6 ָ֕א א DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=king|Ref=DAN_2:12!4|MId=o270020120042|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 7 בְּנַ֖ס בְּנַס VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 parataxis _ Gloss=he.was.angry|Ref=DAN_2:12!5|MId=o270020120051|Strong=1149|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270020120041;|Type=qatal 8-9 וּקְצַ֣ף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_2:12!6|MId=o270020120061|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 9 קְצַ֣ף קְצַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he.was.furious|Ref=DAN_2:12!6|MId=o270020120062|Strong=7108|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270020120041;|Type=qatal 10 שַׂגִּ֑יא שַׂגִּיא ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 advmod _ Gloss=exceedingly|Ref=DAN_2:12!7|MId=o270020120071|Strong=7690|Lang=arc|Type=adjective 11-12 וַאֲמַר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_2:12!8|MId=o270020120081|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 12 אֲמַר֙ אֲמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=DAN_2:12!8|MId=o270020120082|Strong=0560|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270020120041;|Type=qatal 13-14 לְה֣וֹבָדָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_2:12!9|MId=o270020120091|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 14 ה֣וֹבָדָ֔ה אֲבַד VERB _ HebBinyan=HAPHEL 12 advcl _ Gloss=destroy|Ref=DAN_2:12!9|MId=o270020120092|Strong=0007|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:;|Type=infinitive_construct 15-16 לְכֹ֖ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DAN_2:12!10|MId=o270020120101|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc|Type=direct_object_marker 16 כֹ֖ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=DAN_2:12!10|MId=o270020120102|Strong=3606|Lang=arc 17 חַכִּימֵ֥י חַכִּים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.wise.men|Ref=DAN_2:12!11|MId=o270020120111|Strong=2445|Lang=arc 18 בָבֶֽל בָּבֶל PROPN _ _ 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Babylon|Ref=DAN_2:12!12|MId=o270020120121|Strong=0895|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 19 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 18 punct _ Ref=DAN_2:12!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} No stored speech act for this sentence. | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | בְּנַס *he was angry* | qatal · peal | מַלְכּ *the* | | | | | קְצַף *he was furious* | qatal · peal | מַלְכּ *the* | | | | | אֲמַר *he said* | qatal · peal | מַלְכּ *the* | | | | | הוֹבָדָה *destroy* | infinitive construct · haphel | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
