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 — I, men — and what happens in the verse to decree, wise men, interpretation, 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. וּמִנִּי֙ שִׂ֣ים טְעֵ֔ם לְהַנְעָלָ֣ה קָֽדָמַ֔י לְכֹ֖ל חַכִּימֵ֣י בָבֶ֑ל דִּֽי־פְשַׁ֥ר חֶלְמָ֖א יְהֽוֹדְעֻנַּֽנִי׃ [Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.111/) ## 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:81 # text = וּמִנִּי֙ שִׂ֣ים טְעֵ֔ם לְהַנְעָלָ֣ה קָֽדָמַ֔י לְכֹ֖ל חַכִּימֵ֣י בָבֶ֑ל דִּֽי־פְשַׁ֥ר חֶלְמָ֖א יְהֽוֹדְעֻנַּֽנִי׃ # verse = DAN.4.3 1-3 וּמִנִּי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_4:3!1|MId=o270040030011|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 2 מִנּ מִן ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=DAN_4:3!1|MId=o270040030012|Strong=4481|Lang=arc 3 ִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=DAN_4:3!1|MId=o270040030013|Strong=2967b|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 4 שִׂ֣ים שׂים VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was.made|Ref=DAN_4:3!2|MId=o270040030021|Strong=7761|Lang=arc|Frame=A1:270040030031;|Type=qatal 5 טְעֵ֔ם טְעֵם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 nsubj _ Gloss=a.decree|Ref=DAN_4:3!3|MId=o270040030031|Strong=2942|Lang=arc 6-7 לְהַנְעָלָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_4:3!4|MId=o270040030041|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 7 הַנְעָלָ֣ה עֲלַל VERB _ HebBinyan=HAPHEL 4 advcl _ Gloss=bring.in|Ref=DAN_4:3!4|MId=o270040030042|Strong=5954|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:;|Type=infinitive_construct 8-9 קָֽדָמַ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 קָֽדָמ קֳדָם ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=DAN_4:3!5|MId=o270040030051|Strong=6925|Lang=arc 9 ַ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=DAN_4:3!5|MId=o270040030052|Strong=2967b|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 10-11 לְכֹ֖ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DAN_4:3!6|MId=o270040030061|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc|Type=direct_object_marker 11 כֹ֖ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=DAN_4:3!6|MId=o270040030062|Strong=3606|Lang=arc 12 חַכִּימֵ֣י חַכִּים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.wise.men|Ref=DAN_4:3!7|MId=o270040030071|Strong=2445|Lang=arc 13 בָבֶ֑ל בָּבֶל PROPN _ _ 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Babylon|Ref=DAN_4:3!8|MId=o270040030081|Strong=0895|Lang=arc 14 דִּֽי־ דִּי SCONJ _ _ 18 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=DAN_4:3!9|MId=o270040030091|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 15 פְשַׁ֥ר פְּשַׁר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 xcomp _ Gloss=the.interpretation|Ref=DAN_4:3!10|MId=o270040030101|Strong=6591|Lang=arc 16-17 חֶלְמָ֖א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 חֶלְמ חֵלֶם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of|Ref=DAN_4:3!11|MId=o270040030111|Strong=2493|Lang=arc 17 ָ֖א א DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the.dream|Ref=DAN_4:3!11|MId=o270040030112|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 18-19 יְהֽוֹדְעֻנַּֽנִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 יְהֽוֹדְעֻנּ יְדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HAPHEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=they|Ref=DAN_4:3!12|MId=o270040030121|Strong=3046|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270040030071;A1:270040030101;A2:270040030122;|Type=yiqtol 19 ַֽנִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 obj _ Gloss=will.make.known.to.me|Ref=DAN_4:3!12|MId=o270040030122|Strong=5204b|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=DAN_4:3!12 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שִׂים *it was made* | qatal · peil | | טְעֵם *a decree* | | | | הַנְעָלָה *bring in* | infinitive construct · haphel | | | | | | יְהֽוֹדְעֻנּ *they* | yiqtol · haphel | חַכִּימֵי *the wise men* | פְשַׁר *the interpretation* | ַֽנִי *will make known to me* | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
