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 — Daniel, satraps, king — and what happens in the verse to one, account, damage, 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. וְעֵ֤לָּא מִנְּהוֹן֙ סָרְכִ֣ין תְּלָתָ֔א דִּ֥י דָנִיֵּ֖אל חַֽד־מִנְּה֑וֹן דִּֽי־לֶהֱוֺ֞ן אֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנַיָּ֣א אִלֵּ֗ין יָהֲבִ֤ין לְהוֹן֙ טַעְמָ֔א וּמַלְכָּ֖א לָֽא־לֶהֱוֵ֥א נָזִֽק׃ [and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account unto them, and that the king should have no damage.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.179/) ## 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:145 # text = וְעֵ֤לָּא מִנְּהוֹן֙ סָרְכִ֣ין תְּלָתָ֔א דִּ֥י דָנִיֵּ֖אל חַֽד־מִנְּה֑וֹן דִּֽי־לֶהֱוֺ֞ן אֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנַיָּ֣א אִלֵּ֗ין יָהֲבִ֤ין לְהוֹן֙ טַעְמָ֔א וּמַלְכָּ֖א לָֽא־לֶהֱוֵ֥א נָזִֽק׃ # verse = DAN.6.3 1-2 וְעֵ֤לָּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_6:3!1|MId=o270060030011|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 2 עֵ֤לָּא עֵלָּא ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=above|Ref=DAN_6:3!1|MId=o270060030012|Strong=5924|Lang=arc 3-4 מִנְּהוֹן֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 מִנּ מִן ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=more|Ref=DAN_6:3!2|MId=o270060030021|Strong=4481|Lang=arc 4 ְהוֹן֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 0 root _ Gloss=than.them|Ref=DAN_6:3!2|MId=o270060030022|Strong=1952a|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 5 סָרְכִ֣ין סָרֵךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 nsubj _ Gloss=overseers|Ref=DAN_6:3!3|MId=o270060030031|Strong=5632|Lang=arc 6 תְּלָתָ֔א תְּלָת NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 nummod _ Gloss=three|Ref=DAN_6:3!4|MId=o270060030041|Strong=8532|Lang=arc|Type=cardinal_number 7 דִּ֥י דִּי SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=DAN_6:3!5|MId=o270060030051|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|Type=relative 8 דָנִיֵּ֖אל דָּנִיֵּאל PROPN _ _ 9 nsubj _ Gloss=Daniel|Ref=DAN_6:3!6|MId=o270060030061|Strong=1841|Lang=arc 9 חַֽד־ חַד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[was].one|Ref=DAN_6:3!7|MId=o270060030071|Strong=2298|Lang=arc|Type=cardinal_number|SpaceAfter=No 10-11 מִנְּה֑וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 מִנּ מִן ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=DAN_6:3!8|MId=o270060030081|Strong=4481|Lang=arc 11 ְה֑וֹן הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod _ Gloss=them|Ref=DAN_6:3!8|MId=o270060030082|Strong=1952a|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 12 דִּֽי־ דִּי SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=DAN_6:3!9|MId=o270060030091|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 13 לֶהֱוֺ֞ן הוה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 17 cop _ Gloss=they.will.be|Ref=DAN_6:3!10|MId=o270060030101|Strong=1934|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270060030111;|Type=yiqtol 14-15 אֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנַיָּ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 אֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנַיּ אֲחַשְׁדַּרְפַּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 17 nsubj _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_6:3!11|MId=o270060030111|Strong=0324|Lang=arc 15 ָ֣א א DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=satraps|Ref=DAN_6:3!11|MId=o270060030112|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 16 אִלֵּ֗ין אִלֵּין DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 14 det _ Gloss=these|Ref=DAN_6:3!12|MId=o270060030121|Strong=0459|Lang=arc|Type=demonstrative 17 יָהֲבִ֤ין יְהַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Plur 5 acl:relcl _ Gloss=giving|Ref=DAN_6:3!13|MId=o270060030131|Strong=3052|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270060030111;A1:270060030151;|Type=participle_active 18-19 לְהוֹן֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 ל לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_6:3!14|MId=o270060030141|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 19 ְהוֹן֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=DAN_6:3!14|MId=o270060030142|Strong=1952a|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 20-21 טַעְמָ֔א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 טַעְמ טְעֵם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_6:3!15|MId=o270060030151|Strong=2942|Lang=arc 21 ָ֔א א DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=report|Ref=DAN_6:3!15|MId=o270060030152|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 22-24 וּמַלְכָּ֖א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_6:3!16|MId=o270060030161|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 23 מַלְכּ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 nsubj _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_6:3!16|MId=o270060030162|Strong=4430|Lang=arc 24 ָ֖א א DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=king|Ref=DAN_6:3!16|MId=o270060030163|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 25 לָֽא־ לָא ADV _ _ 27 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DAN_6:3!17|MId=o270060030171|Strong=3809|Lang=arc|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 26 לֶהֱוֵ֥א הוה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 27 cop _ Gloss=he.will.be|Ref=DAN_6:3!18|MId=o270060030181|Strong=1934|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270060030162;|Type=yiqtol 27 נָזִֽק נְזַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing 17 conj _ Gloss=suffering.injury|Ref=DAN_6:3!19|MId=o270060030191|Strong=5142|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270060030162;|Type=participle_active|SpaceAfter=No 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=DAN_6:3!19 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | לֶהֱוֺן *they will be* | yiqtol · peal | אֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנַיּ *the* | | | | | יָהֲבִין *giving* | participle active · peal | אֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנַיּ *the* | טַעְמ *the* | | | | לֶהֱוֵא *he will be* | yiqtol · peal | מַלְכּ *the* | | | | | נָזִֽק *suffering injury* | participle active · peal | מַלְכּ *the* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
