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 — man, decree, Arioch, thing — and what happens in the verse to Arioch, thing, 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. עָנֵ֣ה וְאָמַ֗ר לְאַרְיוֹךְ֙ שַׁלִּיטָ֣א דִֽי־מַלְכָּ֔א עַל־מָ֥ה דָתָ֛א מְהַחְצְפָ֖ה מִן־קֳדָ֣ם מַלְכָּ֑א אֱדַ֣יִן מִלְּתָ֔א הוֹדַ֥ע אַרְי֖וֹךְ לְדָנִיֵּֽאל׃ [he answered and said to Arioch the king's captain: 'Wherefore is the decree so peremptory from the king?'

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:11 # text = עָנֵ֣ה וְאָמַ֗ר לְאַרְיוֹךְ֙ שַׁלִּיטָ֣א דִֽי־מַלְכָּ֔א עַל־מָ֥ה דָתָ֛א מְהַחְצְפָ֖ה מִן־קֳדָ֣ם מַלְכָּ֑א אֱדַ֣יִן מִלְּתָ֔א הוֹדַ֥ע אַרְי֖וֹךְ לְדָנִיֵּֽאל׃ # verse = DAN.2.15 1 עָנֵ֣ה עֲנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[he.was].replying|Ref=DAN_2:15!1|MId=o270020150011|Strong=6032|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270020140021;|Type=participle_active 2-3 וְאָמַ֗ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_2:15!2|MId=o270020150021|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 3 אָמַ֗ר אֲמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing 1 conj _ Gloss=[he.was].saying|Ref=DAN_2:15!2|MId=o270020150022|Strong=0560|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270020140021;|Type=participle_active 4-5 לְאַרְיוֹךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_2:15!3|MId=o270020150031|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 5 אַרְיוֹךְ֙ אֲרְיוֹךְ PROPN _ _ 3 obl _ Gloss=Arioch|Ref=DAN_2:15!3|MId=o270020150032|Strong=0746a|Lang=arc 6-7 שַׁלִּיטָ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 שַׁלִּיט שַׁלִּיט ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 appos _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_2:15!4|MId=o270020150041|Strong=7990|Lang=arc|Type=adjective 7 ָ֣א א DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=captain|Ref=DAN_2:15!4|MId=o270020150042|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 8 דִֽי־ דִּי SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=(diy).of|Ref=DAN_2:15!5|MId=o270020150051|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 מַלְכָּ֔א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 מַלְכּ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 acl:relcl _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_2:15!6|MId=o270020150061|Strong=4430|Lang=arc 10 ָ֔א א DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=king|Ref=DAN_2:15!6|MId=o270020150062|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 11 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=DAN_2:15!7|MId=o270020150071|Strong=5922|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 12 מָ֥ה מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 15 obl _ Gloss=what?|Ref=DAN_2:15!8|MId=o270020150081|Strong=4101|Lang=arc|Type=interrogative 13-14 דָתָ֛א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 דָת דָּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 15 nsubj _ Gloss=[is].the|Ref=DAN_2:15!9|MId=o270020150091|Strong=1882|Lang=arc 14 ָ֛א א DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=decree|Ref=DAN_2:15!9|MId=o270020150092|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 15 מְהַחְצְפָ֖ה חֲצַף VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=HAPHEL|Number=Sing 1 ccomp _ Gloss=harsh|Ref=DAN_2:15!10|MId=o270020150101|Strong=2685|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270020150091;|Type=participle_active 16 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=DAN_2:15!11|MId=o270020150111|Strong=4481|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 17 קֳדָ֣ם קֳדָם ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=DAN_2:15!12|MId=o270020150121|Strong=6925|Lang=arc 18-19 מַלְכָּ֑א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 מַלְכּ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_2:15!13|MId=o270020150131|Strong=4430|Lang=arc 19 ָ֑א א DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=king|Ref=DAN_2:15!13|MId=o270020150132|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 20 אֱדַ֣יִן אֱדַיִן ADV _ _ 1 advmod _ Gloss=then|Ref=DAN_2:15!14|MId=o270020150141|Strong=0116|Lang=arc 21-22 מִלְּתָ֔א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 מִלְּת מִלָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 23 obj _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_2:15!15|MId=o270020150151|Strong=4406|Lang=arc 22 ָ֔א א DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=matter|Ref=DAN_2:15!15|MId=o270020150152|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 23 הוֹדַ֥ע יְדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HAPHEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 15 parataxis _ Gloss=he.made.known|Ref=DAN_2:15!16|MId=o270020150161|Strong=3046|Lang=arc|Frame=A1:270020150151;A0:270020150171;|Type=qatal 24 אַרְי֖וֹךְ אֲרְיוֹךְ PROPN _ _ 23 nsubj _ Gloss=Arioch|Ref=DAN_2:15!17|MId=o270020150171|Strong=0746a|Lang=arc 25-26 לְדָנִיֵּֽאל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_2:15!18|MId=o270020150181|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 26 דָנִיֵּֽאל דָּנִיֵּאל PROPN _ _ 23 obl _ Gloss=Daniel|Ref=DAN_2:15!18|MId=o270020150182|Strong=1841|Lang=arc 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=DAN_2:15!18 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | עָנֵה *\[he was\] replying* | participle active · peal | | | | | | אָמַר *\[he was\] saying* | participle active · peal | | | | | | מְהַחְצְפָה *harsh* | participle active · haphel | דָת *\[is\] the* | | | | | הוֹדַע *he made known* | qatal · haphel | אַרְיוֹךְ *Arioch* | מִלְּת *the* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
