The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — king, I, spirit — and what happens in the verse to dream, 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. וַיֹּ֧אמֶר לָהֶ֛ם הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ חֲל֣וֹם חָלָ֑מְתִּי וַתִּפָּ֣עֶם רוּחִ֔י לָדַ֖עַת אֶֽת־הַחֲלֽוֹם׃ [And the king said unto them: 'I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.24/) ## The tree {#tree} Right to left, as the Hebrew 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:DAN:23 # text = וַיֹּ֧אמֶר לָהֶ֛ם הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ חֲל֣וֹם חָלָ֑מְתִּי וַתִּפָּ֣עֶם רוּחִ֔י לָדַ֖עַת אֶֽת־הַחֲלֽוֹם׃ # verse = DAN.2.3 1-2 וַיֹּ֧אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_2:3!1|MId=o270020030011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֧אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=DAN_2:3!1|MId=o270020030012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:270020030032;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 לָהֶ֛ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 ל לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_2:3!2|MId=o270020030021|Strong=3807a 4 ָהֶ֛ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=DAN_2:3!2|MId=o270020030022|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 5-6 הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_2:3!3|MId=o270020030031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 מֶּ֖לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=king|Ref=DAN_2:3!3|MId=o270020030032|Strong=4428 7 חֲל֣וֹם חֲלוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obj _ Gloss=a.dream|Ref=DAN_2:3!4|MId=o270020030041|Strong=2472 8 חָלָ֑מְתִּי חָלַם VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 ccomp _ Gloss=I.have.dreamed|Ref=DAN_2:3!5|MId=o270020030051|Strong=2492a|Frame=A0:270020030032;A1:270020030041;|Type=qatal 9-10 וַתִּפָּ֣עֶם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_2:3!6|MId=o270020030061|Strong=2050b 10 תִּפָּ֣עֶם פָּעַם VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.was.troubled|Ref=DAN_2:3!6|MId=o270020030062|Strong=6470|Frame=A1:270020030071;|Type=wayyiqtol 11-12 רוּחִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 רוּח רוּחַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=spirit|Ref=DAN_2:3!7|MId=o270020030071|Strong=7307 12 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=DAN_2:3!7|MId=o270020030072|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 13-14 לָדַ֖עַת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_2:3!8|MId=o270020030081|Strong=3807a 14 דַ֖עַת יָדַע VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 10 advcl _ Gloss=know|Ref=DAN_2:3!8|MId=o270020030082|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:270020030071;A1:270020030102;|Type=infinitive_construct 15 אֶֽת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DAN_2:3!9|MId=o270020030091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 16-17 הַחֲלֽוֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_2:3!10|MId=o270020030101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 חֲלֽוֹם חֲלוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=dream|Ref=DAN_2:3!10|MId=o270020030102|Strong=2472 18 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 17 punct _ Ref=DAN_2:3!10 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | מֶּלֶךְ *king* | | | | | חָלָמְתִּי *I have dreamed* | qatal · qal | מֶּלֶךְ *king* | חֲלוֹם *a dream* | | | | תִּפָּעֶם *it was troubled* | wayyiqtol · niphal | | רוּח *spirit* | | | | דַעַת *know* | infinitive construct · qal | רוּח *spirit* | חֲלֽוֹם *dream* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
