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 — Belshazzar, Persians — and what happens in the verse to Daniel, chain, proclamation, kingdom, 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 ׀ אֲמַ֣ר בֵּלְשַׁאצַּ֗ר וְהַלְבִּ֤ישׁוּ לְדָֽנִיֵּאל֙ אַרְגְּוָנָ֔א וְהַֽמְנִיכָ֥א דִֽי־דַהֲבָ֖א עַֽל־צַוְּארֵ֑הּ וְהַכְרִ֣זֽוּ עֲל֔וֹהִי דִּֽי־לֶהֱוֵ֥א שַׁלִּ֛יט תַּלְתָּ֖א בְּמַלְכוּתָֽא׃ [Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that he should rule as one of three in the kingdom.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.175/) ## 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:141 # text = בֵּאדַ֣יִן ׀ אֲמַ֣ר בֵּלְשַׁאצַּ֗ר וְהַלְבִּ֤ישׁוּ לְדָֽנִיֵּאל֙ אַרְגְּוָנָ֔א וְהַֽמְנִיכָ֥א דִֽי־דַהֲבָ֖א עַֽל־צַוְּארֵ֑הּ וְהַכְרִ֣זֽוּ עֲל֔וֹהִי דִּֽי־לֶהֱוֵ֥א שַׁלִּ֛יט תַּלְתָּ֖א בְּמַלְכוּתָֽא׃ # verse = DAN.5.29 1-2 בֵּאדַ֣יִן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 בֵּ בְּ ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=|Ref=DAN_5:29!1|MId=o270050290011|Strong=0871b|Lang=arc 2 אדַ֣יִן אֱדַיִן ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=then|Ref=DAN_5:29!1|MId=o270050290012|Strong=0116|Lang=arc 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=DAN_5:29!1 4 אֲמַ֣ר אֲמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=DAN_5:29!2|MId=o270050290021|Strong=0560|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270050290031;|Type=qatal 5 בֵּלְשַׁאצַּ֗ר בֵּלְשַׁאצַּר PROPN _ _ 4 nsubj _ Gloss=Belshazzar|Ref=DAN_5:29!3|MId=o270050290031|Strong=1113|Lang=arc 6-7 וְהַלְבִּ֤ישׁוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_5:29!4|MId=o270050290041|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 7 הַלְבִּ֤ישׁוּ לְבֵשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HAPHEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.clothed|Ref=DAN_5:29!4|MId=o270050290042|Strong=3848|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:;A1:270050290061;|Type=qatal 8-9 לְדָֽנִיֵּאל֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DAN_5:29!5|MId=o270050290051|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc|Type=direct_object_marker 9 דָֽנִיֵּאל֙ דָּנִיֵּאל PROPN _ _ 7 obl _ Gloss=Daniel|Ref=DAN_5:29!5|MId=o270050290052|Strong=1841|Lang=arc 10-11 אַרְגְּוָנָ֔א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 אַרְגְּוָנ אַרְגְּוָן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DAN_5:29!6|MId=o270050290061|Strong=0711|Lang=arc 11 ָ֔א א DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=purple|Ref=DAN_5:29!6|MId=o270050290062|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 12-14 וְהַֽמְנִיכָ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_5:29!8|MId=o270050290081|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 13 הַֽמְנִיכ הַמְנִיךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DAN_5:29!8|MId=o270050290082|Strong=2002|Lang=arc 14 ָ֥א א DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=necklace|Ref=DAN_5:29!8|MId=o270050290083|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 15 דִֽי־ דִּי SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=(diy).of|Ref=DAN_5:29!9|MId=o270050290091|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 16-17 דַהֲבָ֖א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 דַהֲב דְּהַב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 acl:relcl _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DAN_5:29!10|MId=o270050290101|Strong=1722|Lang=arc 17 ָ֖א א DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=gold|Ref=DAN_5:29!10|MId=o270050290102|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 18 עַֽל־ עַל ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=[was].on|Ref=DAN_5:29!11|MId=o270050290111|Strong=5922|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 19-20 צַוְּארֵ֑הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 צַוְּאר צַוַּאר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=neck|Ref=DAN_5:29!12|MId=o270050290121|Strong=6676|Lang=arc 20 ֵ֑הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DAN_5:29!12|MId=o270050290122|Strong=1886h|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 21-22 וְהַכְרִ֣זֽוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_5:29!13|MId=o270050290131|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 22 הַכְרִ֣זֽוּ כְּרַז VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HAPHEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.made.proclamation|Ref=DAN_5:29!13|MId=o270050290132|Strong=3745|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:;A1:270050290161;|Type=qatal 23-24 עֲל֔וֹהִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 עֲל֔וֹ עַל ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=concerning|Ref=DAN_5:29!14|MId=o270050290141|Strong=5922|Lang=arc 24 הִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=DAN_5:29!14|MId=o270050290142|Strong=1958b|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 25 דִּֽי־ דִּי SCONJ _ _ 27 mark _ Gloss=(diy).that|Ref=DAN_5:29!15|MId=o270050290151|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 26 לֶהֱוֵ֥א הוה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 27 cop _ Gloss=he.will.be|Ref=DAN_5:29!16|MId=o270050290161|Strong=1934|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270050290052;|Type=yiqtol 27 שַׁלִּ֛יט שַׁלִּיט ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 acl:relcl _ Gloss=a.ruler|Ref=DAN_5:29!17|MId=o270050290171|Strong=7990|Lang=arc|Type=adjective 28 תַּלְתָּ֖א תְּלַת ADJ _ Number=Sing 27 amod _ Gloss=third|Ref=DAN_5:29!18|MId=o270050290181|Strong=8531|Lang=arc|Type=ordinal_number 29-31 בְּמַלְכוּתָֽא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DAN_5:29!19|MId=o270050290191|Strong=0871b|Lang=arc 30 מַלְכוּת מַלְכוּ NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 27 obl _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_5:29!19|MId=o270050290192|Strong=4437|Lang=arc 31 ָֽא א DET _ PronType=Art 30 det _ Gloss=kingdom|Ref=DAN_5:29!19|MId=o270050290193|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=DAN_5:29!19 ``` ##
