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 — God — and what happens in the verse to kingdom, Nebuchadnezzar, 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. אַ֖נְתְּ מַלְכָּ֑א אֱלָהָא֙ עִלָּאָ֔ה מַלְכוּתָ֤א וּרְבוּתָא֙ וִיקָרָ֣א וְהַדְרָ֔ה יְהַ֖ב לִנְבֻכַדְנֶצַּ֥ר אֲבוּֽךְ׃ [O thou king, God Most High gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.164/) ## 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:130 # text = אַ֖נְתְּ מַלְכָּ֑א אֱלָהָא֙ עִלָּאָ֔ה מַלְכוּתָ֤א וּרְבוּתָא֙ וִיקָרָ֣א וְהַדְרָ֔ה יְהַ֖ב לִנְבֻכַדְנֶצַּ֥ר אֲבוּֽךְ׃ # verse = DAN.5.18 1 אַ֖נְתְּ אַנְתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 dislocated _ Gloss=you|Ref=DAN_5:18!2|MId=o270050180021|Strong=0607|Lang=arc|Type=personal 2-3 מַלְכָּ֑א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 מַלְכּ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 dislocated _ Gloss=O|Ref=DAN_5:18!3|MId=o270050180031|Strong=4430|Lang=arc 3 ָ֑א א DET _ PronType=Art 2 det _ Gloss=king|Ref=DAN_5:18!3|MId=o270050180032|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 4-5 אֱלָהָא֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אֱלָה אֱלָהּ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DAN_5:18!4|MId=o270050180041|Strong=0426|Lang=arc 5 ָא֙ א DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=God|Ref=DAN_5:18!4|MId=o270050180042|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 6-7 עִלָּאָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 עִלָּא עִלַּי ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 amod _ Gloss=(the).Most|Ref=DAN_5:18!6|MId=o270050180061|Strong=5943|Lang=arc|Type=adjective 7 ָ֔ה ה DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=High|Ref=DAN_5:18!6|MId=o270050180062|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 8-9 מַלְכוּתָ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 מַלְכוּת מַלְכוּ NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 obj _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_5:18!7|MId=o270050180071|Strong=4437|Lang=arc 9 ָ֤א א DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=kingdom|Ref=DAN_5:18!7|MId=o270050180072|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 10-12 וּרְבוּתָא֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_5:18!8|MId=o270050180081|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 11 רְבוּת רְבוּ NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 conj _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_5:18!8|MId=o270050180082|Strong=7238|Lang=arc 12 ָא֙ א DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=greatness|Ref=DAN_5:18!8|MId=o270050180083|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 13-15 וִיקָרָ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וִ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_5:18!9|MId=o270050180091|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 14 יקָר יְקָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 conj _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_5:18!9|MId=o270050180092|Strong=3367|Lang=arc 15 ָ֣א א DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=honor|Ref=DAN_5:18!9|MId=o270050180093|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 16-18 וְהַדְרָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_5:18!10|MId=o270050180101|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 17 הַדְר הֲדַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 conj _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_5:18!10|MId=o270050180102|Strong=1923|Lang=arc 18 ָ֔ה ה DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=majesty|Ref=DAN_5:18!10|MId=o270050180103|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 19 יְהַ֖ב יְהַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.gave|Ref=DAN_5:18!11|MId=o270050180111|Strong=3052|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270050180041;A1:270050180071;270050180082;270050180092;270050180102;|Type=yiqtol 20-21 לִנְבֻכַדְנֶצַּ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_5:18!12|MId=o270050180121|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 21 נְבֻכַדְנֶצַּ֥ר נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר PROPN _ _ 19 obl _ Gloss=Nebuchadnezzar|Ref=DAN_5:18!12|MId=o270050180122|Strong=5020|Lang=arc 22-23 אֲבוּֽךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 אֲב אַב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 appos _ Gloss=father|Ref=DAN_5:18!13|MId=o270050180131|Strong=0002|Lang=arc 23 וּֽךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DAN_5:18!13|MId=o270050180132|Strong=3509e|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=DAN_5:18!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְהַב *he gave* | yiqtol · peal | אֱלָה *(the)* | מַלְכוּת *the* + רְבוּת *the* + יקָר *the* + הַדְר *the* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
