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 — thoughts, knees, king — and what happens in the verse to countenance, king, joints, one, 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. אֱדַ֤יִן מַלְכָּא֙ זִיוֺ֣הִי שְׁנ֔וֹהִי וְרַעיֹנֹ֖הִייְבַהֲלוּנֵּ֑הּ וְקִטְרֵ֤י חַרְצֵהּ֙ מִשְׁתָּרַ֔יִן וְאַ֨רְכֻבָּתֵ֔הּ דָּ֥א לְדָ֖א נָֽקְשָֽׁן׃ [Then the king's countenance was changed in him, and his thoughts affrighted him; and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.149/) ## 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:118 # text = אֱדַ֤יִן מַלְכָּא֙ זִיוֺ֣הִי שְׁנ֔וֹהִי וְרַעיֹנֹ֖הִייְבַהֲלוּנֵּ֑הּ וְקִטְרֵ֤י חַרְצֵהּ֙ מִשְׁתָּרַ֔יִן וְאַ֨רְכֻבָּתֵ֔הּ דָּ֥א לְדָ֖א נָֽקְשָֽׁן׃ # verse = DAN.5.6 1 אֱדַ֤יִן אֱדַיִן ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=then|Ref=DAN_5:6!1|MId=o270050060011|Strong=0116|Lang=arc 2-3 מַלְכָּא֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 מַלְכּ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 dislocated _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_5:6!2|MId=o270050060021|Strong=4430|Lang=arc 3 ָא֙ א DET _ PronType=Art 2 det _ Gloss=king|Ref=DAN_5:6!2|MId=o270050060022|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 4-5 זִיוֺ֣הִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 זִיוֺ֣ זִיו NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 nsubj _ Gloss=brightness(es)|Ref=DAN_5:6!3|MId=o270050060031|Strong=2122|Lang=arc 5 הִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DAN_5:6!3|MId=o270050060032|Strong=1958b|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 6-7 שְׁנ֔וֹהִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 שְׁנ֔וֹ שׁנה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=they|Ref=DAN_5:6!4|MId=o270050060041|Strong=8133|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270050060031;|Type=qatal 7 הִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 advmod _ Gloss=changed.him|Ref=DAN_5:6!4|MId=o270050060042|Strong=1958b|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 8-12 וְרַעיֹנֹ֖הִייְבַהֲלוּנֵּ֑הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_5:6!5|MId=o270050060051|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 9 רַעיֹנ רַעְיוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 nsubj _ Gloss=thoughts|Ref=DAN_5:6!5|MId=o270050060052|Strong=7476|Lang=arc 10 ֹ֖הִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DAN_5:6!5|MId=o270050060053|Strong=1958b|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 11 יְבַהֲלוּנּ בְּהַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PAEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=they|Ref=DAN_5:6!6|MId=o270050060061|Strong=0927|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270050060052;A1:270050060062;|Type=yiqtol 12 ֵ֑הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 obj _ Gloss=alarmed.him|Ref=DAN_5:6!6|MId=o270050060062|Strong=1886h|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 13-14 וְקִטְרֵ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_5:6!7|MId=o270050060071|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 14 קִטְרֵ֤י קְטַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 17 nsubj _ Gloss=the.joints|Ref=DAN_5:6!7|MId=o270050060072|Strong=7001|Lang=arc 15-16 חַרְצֵהּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 חַרְצ חֲרַץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of|Ref=DAN_5:6!8|MId=o270050060081|Strong=2783|Lang=arc 16 ֵהּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his.loin[s]|Ref=DAN_5:6!8|MId=o270050060082|Strong=1886h|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 17 מִשְׁתָּרַ֔יִן שׁרה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAAL|Number=Plur 6 conj _ Gloss=[were].loosened|Ref=DAN_5:6!9|MId=o270050060091|Strong=8271|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270050060072;|Type=participle_passive 18-20 וְאַ֨רְכֻבָּתֵ֔הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_5:6!10|MId=o270050060101|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 19 אַ֨רְכֻבָּת אַרְכֻבָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 24 nsubj _ Gloss=knees|Ref=DAN_5:6!10|MId=o270050060102|Strong=0755|Lang=arc 20 ֵ֔הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DAN_5:6!10|MId=o270050060103|Strong=1886h|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 21 דָּ֥א דָּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 24 obl _ Gloss=this.[one]|Ref=DAN_5:6!11|MId=o270050060111|Strong=1668|Lang=arc|Type=demonstrative 22-23 לְדָ֖א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_5:6!12|MId=o270050060121|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 23 דָ֖א דָּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 21 nmod _ Gloss=this.[one]|Ref=DAN_5:6!12|MId=o270050060122|Strong=1668|Lang=arc|Type=demonstrative 24 נָֽקְשָֽׁן נְקַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Plur 6 conj _ Gloss=[were].knocking|Ref=DAN_5:6!13|MId=o270050060131|Strong=5368|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270050060102;|Type=participle_active|SpaceAfter=No 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=DAN_5:6!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שְׁנוֹ *they* | qatal · peal | זִיוֺ *brightness(es)* | | | | | יְבַהֲלוּנּ *they* | yiqtol · pael | רַעיֹנ *thoughts* | ֵהּ *alarmed him* | | | | מִשְׁתָּרַיִן *\[were\] loosened* | participle passive · hithpaal | קִטְרֵי *the joints* | | | | | נָֽקְשָֽׁן *\[were\] knocking* | participle active · peal | אַרְכֻבָּת *knees* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
