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 — hundred satraps — and what happens in the verse to Mede, 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. שְׁפַר֙ קֳדָ֣ם דָּרְיָ֔וֶשׁ וַהֲקִים֙ עַל־מַלְכוּתָ֔א לַאֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנַיָּ֖א מְאָ֣ה וְעֶשְׂרִ֑ין דִּ֥י לֶהֱוֺ֖ן בְּכָל־מַלְכוּתָֽא׃ [It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.178/) ## 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:144 # text = שְׁפַר֙ קֳדָ֣ם דָּרְיָ֔וֶשׁ וַהֲקִים֙ עַל־מַלְכוּתָ֔א לַאֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנַיָּ֖א מְאָ֣ה וְעֶשְׂרִ֑ין דִּ֥י לֶהֱוֺ֖ן בְּכָל־מַלְכוּתָֽא׃ # verse = DAN.6.2 1 שְׁפַר֙ שְׁפַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.seemed.good|Ref=DAN_6:2!1|MId=o270060020011|Strong=8232|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:;|Type=qatal 2 קֳדָ֣ם קֳדָם ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=DAN_6:2!2|MId=o270060020021|Strong=6925|Lang=arc 3 דָּרְיָ֔וֶשׁ דָּרְיָוֶשׁ PROPN _ _ 1 obl _ Gloss=Darius|Ref=DAN_6:2!3|MId=o270060020031|Strong=1868|Lang=arc 4-5 וַהֲקִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_6:2!4|MId=o270060020041|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 5 הֲקִים֙ קוּם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HAPHEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 conj _ Gloss=he.appointed|Ref=DAN_6:2!4|MId=o270060020042|Strong=6966|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270060020031;|Type=qatal 6 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=DAN_6:2!5|MId=o270060020051|Strong=5922|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 7-8 מַלְכוּתָ֔א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 מַלְכוּת מַלְכוּ NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_6:2!6|MId=o270060020061|Strong=4437|Lang=arc 8 ָ֔א א DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=kingdom|Ref=DAN_6:2!6|MId=o270060020062|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 9-11 לַאֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנַיָּ֖א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DAN_6:2!7|MId=o270060020071|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc|Type=direct_object_marker 10 אֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנַיּ אֲחַשְׁדַּרְפַּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 obl _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_6:2!7|MId=o270060020072|Strong=0324|Lang=arc 11 ָ֖א א DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=satraps|Ref=DAN_6:2!7|MId=o270060020073|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 12 מְאָ֣ה מְאָה NUM _ Number=Sing 10 nummod _ Gloss=one.hundred|Ref=DAN_6:2!8|MId=o270060020081|Strong=3969|Lang=arc|Type=cardinal_number 13-14 וְעֶשְׂרִ֑ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_6:2!9|MId=o270060020091|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 14 עֶשְׂרִ֑ין עֶשְׂרִין NUM _ Number=Plur 12 conj _ Gloss=twenty|Ref=DAN_6:2!9|MId=o270060020092|Strong=6243|Lang=arc|Type=cardinal_number 15 דִּ֥י דִּי SCONJ _ _ 18 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=DAN_6:2!10|MId=o270060020101|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|Type=relative 16 לֶהֱוֺ֖ן הוה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 18 cop _ Gloss=they.will.be|Ref=DAN_6:2!11|MId=o270060020111|Strong=1934|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270060020072;|Type=yiqtol 17-18 בְּכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=DAN_6:2!12|MId=o270060020121|Strong=0871b|Lang=arc 18 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 acl:relcl _ Gloss=all|Ref=DAN_6:2!12|MId=o270060020122|Strong=3606|Lang=arc 19-20 מַלְכוּתָֽא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 מַלְכוּת מַלְכוּ NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_6:2!13|MId=o270060020131|Strong=4437|Lang=arc 20 ָֽא א DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=kingdom|Ref=DAN_6:2!13|MId=o270060020132|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=DAN_6:2!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שְׁפַר *it seemed good* | qatal · peal | | | | | | הֲקִים *he appointed* | qatal · haphel | דָּרְיָוֶשׁ *Darius* | | | | | לֶהֱוֺן *they will be* | yiqtol · peal | אֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנַיּ *the* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
