Daniel 6:6 in Biblical Aramaic with its dependency tree, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/DAN.6.6/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Ketuvim](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/) / [Daniel](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/DAN/) / [chapter 6](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/DAN/6/) / 6:6 # Daniel 6:6 דָּנִיֵּאל **Who acts:** men, We, law · **What happens:** say, not find, find, matter · **To what, where:** occasion, matter · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Daniel 6:6 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Ketuvim — the Writings). 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 — men, We, law — and what happens in the verse to occasion, matter, 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. אֱ֠דַיִן גֻּבְרַיָּ֤א אִלֵּךְ֙ אָֽמְרִ֔ין דִּ֣י לָ֧א נְהַשְׁכַּ֛ח לְדָנִיֵּ֥אל דְּנָ֖ה כָּל־עִלָּ֑א לָהֵ֕ן הַשְׁכַּ֥חְנָֽה עֲל֖וֹהִי בְּדָ֥ת אֱלָהֵֽהּ׃ס [Then said these men: 'We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him in the matter of the law of his God.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.182/) ## 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:148 # text = אֱ֠דַיִן גֻּבְרַיָּ֤א אִלֵּךְ֙ אָֽמְרִ֔ין דִּ֣י לָ֧א נְהַשְׁכַּ֛ח לְדָנִיֵּ֥אל דְּנָ֖ה כָּל־עִלָּ֑א לָהֵ֕ן הַשְׁכַּ֥חְנָֽה עֲל֖וֹהִי בְּדָ֥ת אֱלָהֵֽהּ׃ס # verse = DAN.6.6 1 אֱ֠דַיִן אֱדַיִן ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=then|Ref=DAN_6:6!1|MId=o270060060011|Strong=0116|Lang=arc 2-3 גֻּבְרַיָּ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 גֻּבְרַיּ גְּבַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 nsubj _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_6:6!2|MId=o270060060021|Strong=1400|Lang=arc 3 ָ֤א א DET _ PronType=Art 2 det _ Gloss=men|Ref=DAN_6:6!2|MId=o270060060022|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 4 אִלֵּךְ֙ אִלֵּךְ DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 2 det _ Gloss=these|Ref=DAN_6:6!3|MId=o270060060031|Strong=0479|Lang=arc|Type=demonstrative 5 אָֽמְרִ֔ין אֲמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Plur 1 parataxis _ Gloss=[were].saying|Ref=DAN_6:6!4|MId=o270060060041|Strong=0560|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270060060021;A1:270060060071;|Type=participle_active 6 דִּ֣י דִּי SCONJ _ _ 8 mark _ Gloss=(diy).that|Ref=DAN_6:6!5|MId=o270060060051|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|Type=relative 7 לָ֧א לָא ADV _ _ 8 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DAN_6:6!6|MId=o270060060061|Strong=3809|Lang=arc|Type=negative 8 נְהַשְׁכַּ֛ח שְׁכַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HAPHEL|Number=Plur|Person=1 5 acl:relcl _ Gloss=we.will.find|Ref=DAN_6:6!7|MId=o270060060071|Strong=7912|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270060060021;A1:270060060111;|Type=yiqtol 9-10 לְדָנִיֵּ֥אל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_6:6!8|MId=o270060060081|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 10 דָנִיֵּ֥אל דָּנִיֵּאל PROPN _ _ 8 obl _ Gloss=Daniel|Ref=DAN_6:6!8|MId=o270060060082|Strong=1841|Lang=arc 11 דְּנָ֖ה דְּנָה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 10 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=DAN_6:6!9|MId=o270060060091|Strong=1836|Lang=arc|Type=demonstrative 12 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obj _ Gloss=any|Ref=DAN_6:6!10|MId=o270060060101|Strong=3606|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 13 עִלָּ֑א עִלָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=occasion|Ref=DAN_6:6!11|MId=o270060060111|Strong=5931|Lang=arc 14 לָהֵ֕ן לָהֵן CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=except|Ref=DAN_6:6!12|MId=o270060060121|Strong=3861a|Lang=arc 15 הַשְׁכַּ֥חְנָֽה שְׁכַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HAPHEL|Number=Plur|Person=1 8 parataxis _ Gloss=we.have.found|Ref=DAN_6:6!13|MId=o270060060131|Strong=7912|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270060060021;A1:270060060111;|Type=qatal 16-17 עֲל֖וֹהִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 עֲל֖וֹ עַל ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=concerning|Ref=DAN_6:6!14|MId=o270060060141|Strong=5922|Lang=arc 17 הִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=DAN_6:6!14|MId=o270060060142|Strong=1958b|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 18-19 בְּדָ֥ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DAN_6:6!15|MId=o270060060151|Strong=0871b|Lang=arc 19 דָ֥ת דָּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=the.law|Ref=DAN_6:6!15|MId=o270060060152|Strong=1882|Lang=arc 20-21 אֱלָהֵֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 אֱלָה אֱלָהּ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of|Ref=DAN_6:6!16|MId=o270060060161|Strong=0426|Lang=arc 21 ֵֽהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his.God|Ref=DAN_6:6!16|MId=o270060060162|Strong=1886h|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=DAN_6:6!16|SpaceAfter=No 23 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=DAN_6:6!16 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָֽמְרִין *\[were\] saying* | participle active · peal | גֻּבְרַיּ *the* | נְהַשְׁכַּח *we will find* | | | | נְהַשְׁכַּח *we will find* | yiqtol · haphel | גֻּבְרַיּ *the* | עִלָּא *occasion* | | | | הַשְׁכַּחְנָֽה *we have found* | qatal · haphel | גֻּבְרַיּ *the* | עִלָּא *occasion* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
