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, astrologers — and what happens in the verse to magicians, 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. בֵּאדַ֣יִן עָלִּ֗ין חַרְטֻמַיָּא֙ אָֽשְׁפַיָּ֔א כַּשְׂדָּאֵ֖י וְגָזְרַיָּ֑א וְחֶלְמָ֗א אָמַ֤ר אֲנָה֙ קֳדָ֣מֵיה֔וֹן וּפִשְׁרֵ֖הּ לָא־מְהוֹדְעִ֥ין לִֽי׃ [Then came in the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers; and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.112/) ## 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:82 # text = בֵּאדַ֣יִן עָלִּ֗ין חַרְטֻמַיָּא֙ אָֽשְׁפַיָּ֔א כַּשְׂדָּאֵ֖י וְגָזְרַיָּ֑א וְחֶלְמָ֗א אָמַ֤ר אֲנָה֙ קֳדָ֣מֵיה֔וֹן וּפִשְׁרֵ֖הּ לָא־מְהוֹדְעִ֥ין לִֽי׃ # verse = DAN.4.4 1-2 בֵּאדַ֣יִן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 בֵּ בְּ ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=|Ref=DAN_4:4!1|MId=o270040040011|Strong=0871b|Lang=arc 2 אדַ֣יִן אֱדַיִן ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=then|Ref=DAN_4:4!1|MId=o270040040012|Strong=0116|Lang=arc 3 עָלִּ֗ין עֲלַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Plur 2 parataxis _ Gloss=[were].going.in|Ref=DAN_4:4!3|MId=o270040040031|Strong=5954|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270040040041;270040040051;270040040071;270040040082;|Type=participle_active 4-5 חַרְטֻמַיָּא֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 חַרְטֻמַיּ חַרְטֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 nsubj _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_4:4!4|MId=o270040040041|Strong=2749|Lang=arc 5 ָא֙ א DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=magicians|Ref=DAN_4:4!4|MId=o270040040042|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 6-7 אָֽשְׁפַיָּ֔א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 אָֽשְׁפַיּ אָשַׁף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 conj _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_4:4!5|MId=o270040040051|Strong=0826|Lang=arc 7 ָ֔א א DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=conjurers|Ref=DAN_4:4!5|MId=o270040040052|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 8-9 כַּשְׂדָּאֵ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 כַּשְׂדָּא כַּשְׂדַּי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_4:4!7|MId=o270040040071|Strong=3779|Lang=arc|Type=gentilic 9 ֵ֖י הוּא DET _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=Chaldeans|Ref=DAN_4:4!7|MId=o270040040072|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 10-12 וְגָזְרַיָּ֑א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_4:4!8|MId=o270040040081|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 11 גָזְרַיּ גְּזַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Plur 4 conj _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_4:4!8|MId=o270040040082|Strong=1505|Lang=arc|Type=participle_active 12 ָ֑א א SCONJ _ _ 11 mark _ Gloss=astrologers|Ref=DAN_4:4!8|MId=o270040040083|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 13-15 וְחֶלְמָ֗א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_4:4!9|MId=o270040040091|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 14 חֶלְמ חֵלֶם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obj _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_4:4!9|MId=o270040040092|Strong=2493|Lang=arc 15 ָ֗א א DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=dream|Ref=DAN_4:4!9|MId=o270040040093|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 16 אָמַ֤ר אֲמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=[was].saying|Ref=DAN_4:4!10|MId=o270040040101|Strong=0560|Lang=arc|Frame=A1:270040040092;A0:270040040111;|Type=participle_active 17 אֲנָה֙ אֲנָה PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 16 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=DAN_4:4!11|MId=o270040040111|Strong=0576|Lang=arc|Type=personal 18-19 קֳדָ֣מֵיה֔וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 קֳדָ֣מֵי קֳדָם ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=DAN_4:4!12|MId=o270040040121|Strong=6925|Lang=arc 19 ה֔וֹן הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=DAN_4:4!12|MId=o270040040122|Strong=1952a|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 20-22 וּפִשְׁרֵ֖הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_4:4!13|MId=o270040040131|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 21 פִשְׁר פְּשַׁר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 obj _ Gloss=interpretation|Ref=DAN_4:4!13|MId=o270040040132|Strong=6591|Lang=arc 22 ֵ֖הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=DAN_4:4!13|MId=o270040040133|Strong=1886h|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 23 לָא־ לָא ADV _ _ 24 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DAN_4:4!14|MId=o270040040141|Strong=3809|Lang=arc|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 24 מְהוֹדְעִ֥ין יְדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HAPHEL|Number=Plur 2 conj _ Gloss=[they.were].making.known|Ref=DAN_4:4!15|MId=o270040040151|Strong=3046|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270040040041;270040040051;270040040071;270040040082;A1:270040040132;|Type=participle_active 25-26 לִֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 ל לְ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_4:4!16|MId=o270040040161|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 26 ִֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 24 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=DAN_4:4!16|MId=o270040040162|Strong=2967b|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=DAN_4:4!16 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | עָלִּין *\[were\] going in* | participle active · peal | חַרְטֻמַיּ *the* + אָֽשְׁפַיּ *the* + כַּשְׂדָּא *the* + גָזְרַיּ *the* | | | | | אָמַר *\[was\] saying* | participle active · peal | אֲנָה *I* | חֶלְמ *the* | | | | מְהוֹדְעִין *\[they were\] making known* | participle active · haphel | חַרְטֻמַיּ *the* + אָֽשְׁפַיּ *the* + כַּשְׂדָּא *the* + גָזְרַיּ *the* | פִשְׁר *interpretation* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
