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 — word, voice — and what happens in the verse to mouth, voice, kingdom, thee, 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. ע֗וֹד מִלְּתָא֙ בְּפֻ֣ם מַלְכָּ֔א קָ֖ל מִן־שְׁמַיָּ֣א נְפַ֑ל לָ֤ךְ אָֽמְרִין֙ נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּ֣ר מַלְכָּ֔א מַלְכוּתָ֖ה עֲדָ֥ת מִנָּֽךְ׃ [While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven: 'O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken: the kingdom is departed from thee.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.137/) ## 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:106 # text = ע֗וֹד מִלְּתָא֙ בְּפֻ֣ם מַלְכָּ֔א קָ֖ל מִן־שְׁמַיָּ֣א נְפַ֑ל לָ֤ךְ אָֽמְרִין֙ נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּ֣ר מַלְכָּ֔א מַלְכוּתָ֖ה עֲדָ֥ת מִנָּֽךְ׃ # verse = DAN.4.28 1 ע֗וֹד עוֹד ADV _ _ 5 advmod _ Gloss=still|Ref=DAN_4:28!1|MId=o270040280011|Strong=5751|Lang=arc 2-3 מִלְּתָא֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 מִלְּת מִלָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 nsubj _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_4:28!2|MId=o270040280021|Strong=4406|Lang=arc 3 ָא֙ א DET _ PronType=Art 2 det _ Gloss=word|Ref=DAN_4:28!2|MId=o270040280022|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 4-5 בְּפֻ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=[was].in|Ref=DAN_4:28!3|MId=o270040280031|Strong=0871b|Lang=arc 5 פֻ֣ם פֻּם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=the.mouth|Ref=DAN_4:28!3|MId=o270040280032|Strong=6433|Lang=arc 6-7 מַלְכָּ֔א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 מַלְכּ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of|Ref=DAN_4:28!4|MId=o270040280041|Strong=4430|Lang=arc 7 ָ֔א א DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=DAN_4:28!4|MId=o270040280042|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 8 קָ֖ל קָל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=a.voice|Ref=DAN_4:28!5|MId=o270040280051|Strong=7032|Lang=arc 9 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=DAN_4:28!6|MId=o270040280061|Strong=4481|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 10-11 שְׁמַיָּ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 שְׁמַיּ שָׁמַיִן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 obl _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_4:28!7|MId=o270040280071|Strong=8065|Lang=arc 11 ָ֣א א DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=heavens|Ref=DAN_4:28!7|MId=o270040280072|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 12 נְפַ֑ל נְפַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 parataxis _ Gloss=it.fell|Ref=DAN_4:28!8|MId=o270040280081|Strong=5308|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270040280051;|Type=qatal 13-14 לָ֤ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 ל לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_4:28!9|MId=o270040280091|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 14 ָ֤ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 15 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DAN_4:28!9|MId=o270040280092|Strong=3509e|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 15 אָֽמְרִין֙ אֲמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Plur 5 parataxis _ Gloss=[they.are].saying|Ref=DAN_4:28!10|MId=o270040280101|Strong=0560|Lang=arc|Type=participle_active 16 נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּ֣ר נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר PROPN _ _ 15 ccomp _ Gloss=O.Nebuchadnezzar|Ref=DAN_4:28!11|MId=o270040280111|Strong=5020|Lang=arc 17-18 מַלְכָּ֔א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 מַלְכּ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 appos _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_4:28!12|MId=o270040280121|Strong=4430|Lang=arc 18 ָ֔א א DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=king|Ref=DAN_4:28!12|MId=o270040280122|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 19-20 מַלְכוּתָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 מַלְכוּת מַלְכוּ NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_4:28!13|MId=o270040280131|Strong=4437|Lang=arc 20 ָ֖ה ה DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=kingdom|Ref=DAN_4:28!13|MId=o270040280132|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 21 עֲדָ֥ת עֲדָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 16 parataxis _ Gloss=it.has.passed.away|Ref=DAN_4:28!14|MId=o270040280141|Strong=5709|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270040280131;|Type=qatal 22-23 מִנָּֽךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 מִנּ מִן ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=DAN_4:28!15|MId=o270040280151|Strong=4481|Lang=arc 23 ָֽךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 21 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DAN_4:28!15|MId=o270040280152|Strong=3509e|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=DAN_4:28!15 ``` ## 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 *it fell* | qatal · peal | קָל *a voice* | | | | | עֲדָת *it has passed away* | qatal · peal | מַלְכוּת *the* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
