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, gods — and what happens in the verse to face, Daniel, offering, 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. בֵּ֠אדַיִן מַלְכָּ֤א נְבֽוּכַדְנֶצַּר֙ נְפַ֣ל עַל־אַנְפּ֔וֹהִי וּלְדָנִיֵּ֖אל סְגִ֑ד וּמִנְחָה֙ וְנִ֣יחֹחִ֔ין אֲמַ֖ר לְנַסָּ֥כָה לֵֽהּ׃ [Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an offering and sweet odours unto him.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.70/) ## 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:42 # text = בֵּ֠אדַיִן מַלְכָּ֤א נְבֽוּכַדְנֶצַּר֙ נְפַ֣ל עַל־אַנְפּ֔וֹהִי וּלְדָנִיֵּ֖אל סְגִ֑ד וּמִנְחָה֙ וְנִ֣יחֹחִ֔ין אֲמַ֖ר לְנַסָּ֥כָה לֵֽהּ׃ # verse = DAN.2.46 1-2 בֵּ֠אדַיִן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 בֵּ֠ בְּ ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=|Ref=DAN_2:46!1|MId=o270020460011|Strong=0871b|Lang=arc 2 אדַיִן אֱדַיִן ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=then|Ref=DAN_2:46!1|MId=o270020460012|Strong=0116|Lang=arc 3-4 מַלְכָּ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 מַלְכּ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 nsubj _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_2:46!2|MId=o270020460021|Strong=4430|Lang=arc 4 ָ֤א א DET _ PronType=Art 3 det _ Gloss=king|Ref=DAN_2:46!2|MId=o270020460022|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 5 נְבֽוּכַדְנֶצַּר֙ נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר PROPN _ _ 3 appos _ Gloss=Nebuchadnezzar|Ref=DAN_2:46!3|MId=o270020460031|Strong=5020|Lang=arc 6 נְפַ֣ל נְפַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.fell|Ref=DAN_2:46!4|MId=o270020460041|Strong=5308|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270020460021;|Type=qatal 7 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=DAN_2:46!5|MId=o270020460051|Strong=5922|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 8-9 אַנְפּ֔וֹהִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 אַנְפּ֔וֹ אֲנַף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 obl _ Gloss=face|Ref=DAN_2:46!6|MId=o270020460061|Strong=0600|Lang=arc 9 הִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DAN_2:46!6|MId=o270020460062|Strong=1958b|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 10-12 וּלְדָנִיֵּ֖אל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_2:46!7|MId=o270020460071|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 11 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_2:46!7|MId=o270020460072|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 12 דָנִיֵּ֖אל דָּנִיֵּאל PROPN _ _ 13 obl _ Gloss=Daniel|Ref=DAN_2:46!7|MId=o270020460073|Strong=1841|Lang=arc 13 סְגִ֑ד סְגִד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.paid.homage|Ref=DAN_2:46!8|MId=o270020460081|Strong=5457|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270020460021;|Type=qatal 14-15 וּמִנְחָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_2:46!9|MId=o270020460091|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 15 מִנְחָה֙ מִנְחָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 20 obj _ Gloss=offering|Ref=DAN_2:46!9|MId=o270020460092|Strong=4504|Lang=arc 16-17 וְנִ֣יחֹחִ֔ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_2:46!10|MId=o270020460101|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 17 נִ֣יחֹחִ֔ין נִיחוֹחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 conj _ Gloss=soothing.offerings|Ref=DAN_2:46!10|MId=o270020460102|Strong=5208|Lang=arc 18 אֲמַ֖ר אֲמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=DAN_2:46!11|MId=o270020460111|Strong=0560|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270020460021;|Type=qatal 19-20 לְנַסָּ֥כָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_2:46!12|MId=o270020460121|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 20 נַסָּ֥כָה נְסַךְ VERB _ HebBinyan=PAEL 18 advcl _ Gloss=offer.in.sacrifice|Ref=DAN_2:46!12|MId=o270020460122|Strong=5260|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:;A1:270020460092;270020460102;|Type=infinitive_construct 21-22 לֵֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 ל לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_2:46!13|MId=o270020460131|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 22 ֵֽהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=DAN_2:46!13|MId=o270020460132|Strong=1886h|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=DAN_2:46!13 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | נְפַל *he fell* | qatal · peal | מַלְכּ *the* | | | | | סְגִד *he paid homage* | qatal · peal | מַלְכּ *the* | | | | | אֲמַר *he said* | qatal · peal | מַלְכּ *the* | | | | | נַסָּכָה *offer in sacrifice* | infinitive construct · pael | | מִנְחָה *offering* + נִיחֹחִין *soothing offerings* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
