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, I, four men, ministers, appearance — and what happens in the verse to four men, midst, hurt, 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 הָֽא־אֲנָ֨ה חָזֵ֜ה גֻּבְרִ֣ין אַרְבְּעָ֗ה שְׁרַ֙יִן֙ מַהְלְכִ֣ין בְּגֽוֹא־נוּרָ֔א וַחֲבָ֖ל לָא־אִיתַ֣י בְּה֑וֹן וְרֵוֵהּ֙ דִּ֣י רְֽבִיעָאָ֔ה דָּמֵ֖ה לְבַר־אֱלָהִֽין׃ס [He answered and said: 'Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.99/) ## 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:70 # text = עָנֵ֣ה וְאָמַ֗ר הָֽא־אֲנָ֨ה חָזֵ֜ה גֻּבְרִ֣ין אַרְבְּעָ֗ה שְׁרַ֙יִן֙ מַהְלְכִ֣ין בְּגֽוֹא־נוּרָ֔א וַחֲבָ֖ל לָא־אִיתַ֣י בְּה֑וֹן וְרֵוֵהּ֙ דִּ֣י רְֽבִיעָאָ֔ה דָּמֵ֖ה לְבַר־אֱלָהִֽין׃ס # verse = DAN.3.25 1 עָנֵ֣ה עֲנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[he.was].replying|Ref=DAN_3:25!1|MId=o270030250011|Strong=6032|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270030240192;|Type=participle_active 2-3 וְאָמַ֗ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_3:25!2|MId=o270030250021|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 3 אָמַ֗ר אֲמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing 1 conj _ Gloss=[he.was].saying|Ref=DAN_3:25!2|MId=o270030250022|Strong=0560|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270030240192;|Type=participle_active 4 הָֽא־ הָא INTJ _ _ 6 discourse _ Gloss=look!|Ref=DAN_3:25!3|MId=o270030250031|Strong=1888|Lang=arc|Type=demonstrative|SpaceAfter=No 5 אֲנָ֨ה אֲנָה PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 6 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=DAN_3:25!4|MId=o270030250041|Strong=0576|Lang=arc|Type=personal 6 חָזֵ֜ה חֲזָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing 1 ccomp _ Gloss=[am].seeing|Ref=DAN_3:25!5|MId=o270030250051|Strong=2370|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270030250041;A1:270030250091;|Type=participle_active 7 גֻּבְרִ֣ין גְּבַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 nsubj _ Gloss=men|Ref=DAN_3:25!6|MId=o270030250061|Strong=1400|Lang=arc 8 אַרְבְּעָ֗ה אַרְבַּע NUM _ Number=Sing 7 nummod _ Gloss=four|Ref=DAN_3:25!7|MId=o270030250071|Strong=0703|Lang=arc|Type=cardinal_number 9 שְׁרַ֙יִן֙ שׁרה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEIL|Number=Plur 10 obl:npmod _ Gloss=loosed|Ref=DAN_3:25!8|MId=o270030250081|Strong=8271|Lang=arc|Frame=A1:270030250061;|Type=participle_passive 10 מַהְלְכִ֣ין הֲלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=APHEL|Number=Plur 6 ccomp _ Gloss=walking|Ref=DAN_3:25!9|MId=o270030250091|Strong=1981|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270030250061;|Type=participle_active 11-12 בְּגֽוֹא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DAN_3:25!10|MId=o270030250101|Strong=0871b|Lang=arc 12 גֽוֹא־ גֹּוא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=the.midst|Ref=DAN_3:25!10|MId=o270030250102|Strong=1459|Lang=arc 13-14 נוּרָ֔א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 נוּר נוּר NOUN _ Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of|Ref=DAN_3:25!11|MId=o270030250111|Strong=5135|Lang=arc 14 ָ֔א א DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the.fire|Ref=DAN_3:25!11|MId=o270030250112|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 15-16 וַחֲבָ֖ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_3:25!12|MId=o270030250121|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 16 חֲבָ֖ל חֲבָל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 nsubj _ Gloss=hurt|Ref=DAN_3:25!12|MId=o270030250122|Strong=2257|Lang=arc 17 לָא־ לָא ADV _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DAN_3:25!13|MId=o270030250131|Strong=3809|Lang=arc|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 18 אִיתַ֣י אִיתַי NOUN _ _ 6 conj _ Gloss=there|Ref=DAN_3:25!14|MId=o270030250141|Strong=0383|Lang=arc|Type=affirmation 19-20 בְּה֑וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=[is].on|Ref=DAN_3:25!15|MId=o270030250151|Strong=0871b|Lang=arc 20 ְה֑וֹן הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=DAN_3:25!15|MId=o270030250152|Strong=1952a|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 21-23 וְרֵוֵהּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_3:25!16|MId=o270030250161|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 22 רֵו רֵו NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 nsubj _ Gloss=appearance|Ref=DAN_3:25!16|MId=o270030250162|Strong=7299|Lang=arc 23 ֵהּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DAN_3:25!16|MId=o270030250163|Strong=1886h|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 24 דִּ֣י דִּי SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=(diy).of|Ref=DAN_3:25!17|MId=o270030250171|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|Type=relative 25-26 רְֽבִיעָאָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 רְֽבִיעָ רְבִיעִי NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 acl:relcl _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_3:25!19|MId=o270030250191|Strong=7244|Lang=arc|Type=ordinal_number 26 אָ֔ה אָה DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=fourth|Ref=DAN_3:25!19|MId=o270030250192|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 27 דָּמֵ֖ה דְּמָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=[is].like|Ref=DAN_3:25!20|MId=o270030250201|Strong=1821|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270030250162;|Type=participle_active 28-29 לְבַר־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=(et).a|Ref=DAN_3:25!21|MId=o270030250211|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 29 בַר־ בַּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 obl _ Gloss=son|Ref=DAN_3:25!21|MId=o270030250212|Strong=1247|Lang=arc 30 אֱלָהִֽין אֱלָהּ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 29 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].gods|Ref=DAN_3:25!22|MId=o270030250221|Strong=0426|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=DAN_3:25!22|SpaceAfter=No 32 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=DAN_3:25!22 ``` ##
