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 — decree, houses — and what happens in the verse to wise men, Daniel, 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. וְדָתָ֣א נֶפְקַ֔ת וְחַכִּֽימַיָּ֖א מִֽתְקַטְּלִ֑ין וּבְע֛וֹ דָּנִיֵּ֥אל וְחַבְר֖וֹהִי לְהִתְקְטָלָֽה׃פ [So the decree went forth, and the wise men were to be slain; and they sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.34/) ## 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:9 # text = וְדָתָ֣א נֶפְקַ֔ת וְחַכִּֽימַיָּ֖א מִֽתְקַטְּלִ֑ין וּבְע֛וֹ דָּנִיֵּ֥אל וְחַבְר֖וֹהִי לְהִתְקְטָלָֽה׃פ # verse = DAN.2.13 1-3 וְדָתָ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_2:13!1|MId=o270020130011|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 2 דָת דָּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 nsubj _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_2:13!1|MId=o270020130012|Strong=1882|Lang=arc 3 ָ֣א א DET _ PronType=Art 2 det _ Gloss=decree|Ref=DAN_2:13!1|MId=o270020130013|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 4 נֶפְקַ֔ת נְפַק VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.went.out|Ref=DAN_2:13!2|MId=o270020130021|Strong=5312|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270020130012;|Type=qatal 5-7 וְחַכִּֽימַיָּ֖א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_2:13!3|MId=o270020130031|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 6 חַכִּֽימַיּ חַכִּים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 nsubj _ Gloss=the.wise|Ref=DAN_2:13!3|MId=o270020130032|Strong=2445|Lang=arc 7 ָ֖א א DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=men|Ref=DAN_2:13!3|MId=o270020130033|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 8 מִֽתְקַטְּלִ֑ין קְטַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAAL|Number=Plur 4 conj _ Gloss=[were].about.to.be.killed|Ref=DAN_2:13!4|MId=o270020130041|Strong=6992|Lang=arc|Frame=A1:270020130032;|Type=participle_active 9-10 וּבְע֛וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_2:13!5|MId=o270020130051|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 10 בְע֛וֹ בעה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=they.sought|Ref=DAN_2:13!5|MId=o270020130052|Strong=1156|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:;A1:270020130061;270020130072;|Type=qatal 11 דָּנִיֵּ֥אל דָּנִיֵּאל PROPN _ _ 10 obj _ Gloss=Daniel|Ref=DAN_2:13!6|MId=o270020130061|Strong=1841|Lang=arc 12-14 וְחַבְר֖וֹהִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_2:13!7|MId=o270020130071|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 13 חַבְר֖וֹ חֲבַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 conj _ Gloss=companions|Ref=DAN_2:13!7|MId=o270020130072|Strong=2269|Lang=arc 14 הִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DAN_2:13!7|MId=o270020130073|Strong=1958b|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 15-16 לְהִתְקְטָלָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_2:13!8|MId=o270020130081|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 16 הִתְקְטָלָֽה קְטַל VERB _ HebBinyan=HITHPAAL 10 advcl _ Gloss=be.killed|Ref=DAN_2:13!8|MId=o270020130082|Strong=6992|Lang=arc|Frame=A1:270020130061;270020130072;|Type=infinitive_construct 17 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 16 punct _ Ref=DAN_2:13!8|SpaceAfter=No 18 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 16 punct _ Ref=DAN_2:13!8 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | נֶפְקַת *it went out* | qatal · peal | דָת *the* | | | | | מִֽתְקַטְּלִין *\[were\] about to be killed* | participle active · hithpaal | | חַכִּֽימַיּ *the wise* | | | | בְעוֹ *they sought* | qatal · peal | | דָּנִיֵּאל *Daniel* + חַבְרוֹ *companions* | | | | הִתְקְטָלָֽה *be killed* | infinitive construct · hithpaal | | דָּנִיֵּאל *Daniel* + חַבְרוֹ *companions* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
