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 — Daniel, wisdom — and what happens in the verse to name, everlasting, secret, God, 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. עָנֵ֤ה דָֽנִיֵּאל֙ וְאָמַ֔ר לֶהֱוֵ֨א שְׁמֵ֤הּ דִּֽי־אֱלָהָא֙ מְבָרַ֔ךְ מִן־עָלְמָ֖א וְעַ֣ד־עָלְמָ֑א דִּ֧י חָכְמְתָ֛א וּגְבוּרְתָ֖א דִּ֥י לֵֽהּ־הִֽיא׃ [Daniel spoke and said: Blessed be the name of God from everlasting even unto everlasting; for wisdom and might are His;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.42/) ## 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:16 # text = עָנֵ֤ה דָֽנִיֵּאל֙ וְאָמַ֔ר לֶהֱוֵ֨א שְׁמֵ֤הּ דִּֽי־אֱלָהָא֙ מְבָרַ֔ךְ מִן־עָלְמָ֖א וְעַ֣ד־עָלְמָ֑א דִּ֧י חָכְמְתָ֛א וּגְבוּרְתָ֖א דִּ֥י לֵֽהּ־הִֽיא׃ # verse = DAN.2.20 1 עָנֵ֤ה עֲנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[was].replying|Ref=DAN_2:20!1|MId=o270020200011|Strong=6032|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270020200021;|Type=participle_active 2 דָֽנִיֵּאל֙ דָּנִיֵּאל PROPN _ _ 1 nsubj _ Gloss=Daniel|Ref=DAN_2:20!2|MId=o270020200021|Strong=1841|Lang=arc 3-4 וְאָמַ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and.[was]|Ref=DAN_2:20!3|MId=o270020200031|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 4 אָמַ֔ר אֲמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing 1 conj _ Gloss=saying|Ref=DAN_2:20!3|MId=o270020200032|Strong=0560|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270020200021;|Type=participle_active 5 לֶהֱוֵ֨א הוה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 11 cop _ Gloss=let.it.be|Ref=DAN_2:20!4|MId=o270020200041|Strong=1934|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270020200051;|Type=yiqtol 6-7 שְׁמֵ֤הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 שְׁמ שֻׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=name|Ref=DAN_2:20!5|MId=o270020200051|Strong=8036|Lang=arc 7 ֵ֤הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DAN_2:20!5|MId=o270020200052|Strong=1886h|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 8 דִּֽי־ דִּי SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=(diy).of|Ref=DAN_2:20!6|MId=o270020200061|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 אֱלָהָא֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אֱלָה אֱלָהּ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 acl:relcl _ Gloss=the.true|Ref=DAN_2:20!7|MId=o270020200071|Strong=0426|Lang=arc 10 ָא֙ א DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=God|Ref=DAN_2:20!7|MId=o270020200072|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 11 מְבָרַ֔ךְ בְּרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PAEL|Number=Sing 4 ccomp _ Gloss=[be].blessed|Ref=DAN_2:20!8|MId=o270020200081|Strong=1289a|Lang=arc|Frame=A1:270020200051;|Type=participle_passive 12 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=DAN_2:20!9|MId=o270020200091|Strong=4481|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 עָלְמָ֖א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 עָלְמ עָלַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DAN_2:20!10|MId=o270020200101|Strong=5957|Lang=arc 14 ָ֖א א DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=antiquity|Ref=DAN_2:20!10|MId=o270020200102|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 15-16 וְעַ֣ד־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_2:20!11|MId=o270020200111|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 16 עַ֣ד־ עַד ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_2:20!11|MId=o270020200112|Strong=5705|Lang=arc 17-18 עָלְמָ֑א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 עָלְמ עָלַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 conj _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DAN_2:20!12|MId=o270020200121|Strong=5957|Lang=arc 18 ָ֑א א DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=perpetuity|Ref=DAN_2:20!12|MId=o270020200122|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 19 דִּ֧י דִּי SCONJ _ _ 20 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=DAN_2:20!13|MId=o270020200131|Strong=1768|Lang=arc 20-21 חָכְמְתָ֛א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 חָכְמְת חׇכְמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 parataxis _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DAN_2:20!14|MId=o270020200141|Strong=2452|Lang=arc 21 ָ֛א א DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=wisdom|Ref=DAN_2:20!14|MId=o270020200142|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 22-24 וּגְבוּרְתָ֖א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_2:20!15|MId=o270020200151|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 23 גְבוּרְת גְּבוּרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 20 conj _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DAN_2:20!15|MId=o270020200152|Strong=1370|Lang=arc 24 ָ֖א א DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=power|Ref=DAN_2:20!15|MId=o270020200153|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 25 דִּ֥י דִּי SCONJ _ _ 27 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=DAN_2:20!16|MId=o270020200161|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|Type=relative 26-27 לֵֽהּ־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 ל לְ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=[is].to|Ref=DAN_2:20!17|MId=o270020200171|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 27 ֵֽהּ־ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 parataxis _ Gloss=him|Ref=DAN_2:20!17|MId=o270020200172|Strong=1886h|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 28 הִֽיא הִיא PRON _ PronType=Prs 27 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=DAN_2:20!18|MId=o270020200181|Strong=1931b|Lang=arc|Type=affirmation|SpaceAfter=No 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=DAN_2:20!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 *\[was\] replying* | participle active · peal | דָֽנִיֵּאל *Daniel* | | | | | אָמַר *saying* | participle active · peal | דָֽנִיֵּאל *Daniel* | | | | | לֶהֱוֵא *let it be* | yiqtol · peal | שְׁמ *name* | | | | | מְבָרַךְ *\[be\] blessed* | participle passive · pael | | שְׁמ *name* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
