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 — great beasts, four kings — and what happens in the verse to four, four kings, earth, 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. אִלֵּין֙ חֵיוָתָ֣א רַבְרְבָתָ֔א דִּ֥י אִנִּ֖ין אַרְבַּ֑ע אַרְבְּעָ֥ה מַלְכִ֖ין יְקוּמ֥וּן מִן־אַרְעָֽא׃ ['These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, that shall arise out of the earth.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.225/) ## 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:188 # text = אִלֵּין֙ חֵיוָתָ֣א רַבְרְבָתָ֔א דִּ֥י אִנִּ֖ין אַרְבַּ֑ע אַרְבְּעָ֥ה מַלְכִ֖ין יְקוּמ֥וּן מִן־אַרְעָֽא׃ # verse = DAN.7.17 1 אִלֵּין֙ אִלֵּין DET _ Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 2 det _ Gloss=these|Ref=DAN_7:17!1|MId=o270070170011|Strong=0459|Lang=arc|Type=demonstrative 2-3 חֵיוָתָ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 חֵיוָת חֵיוָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 10 nsubj _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_7:17!2|MId=o270070170021|Strong=2423|Lang=arc 3 ָ֣א א DET _ PronType=Art 2 det _ Gloss=beasts|Ref=DAN_7:17!2|MId=o270070170022|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 4-5 רַבְרְבָתָ֔א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 רַבְרְבָת רַב ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 2 amod _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DAN_7:17!3|MId=o270070170031|Strong=7229|Lang=arc|Type=adjective 5 ָ֔א א DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=great|Ref=DAN_7:17!3|MId=o270070170032|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 6 דִּ֥י דִּי SCONJ _ _ 8 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DAN_7:17!4|MId=o270070170041|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|Type=relative 7 אִנִּ֖ין אִנִּין PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=DAN_7:17!5|MId=o270070170051|Strong=0581|Lang=arc|Type=personal 8 אַרְבַּ֑ע אַרְבַּע NUM _ Number=Sing 2 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[are].four|Ref=DAN_7:17!6|MId=o270070170061|Strong=0703|Lang=arc|Type=cardinal_number 9 אַרְבְּעָ֥ה אַרְבַּע NUM _ Number=Sing 10 nummod _ Gloss=four|Ref=DAN_7:17!7|MId=o270070170071|Strong=0703|Lang=arc|Type=adjective 10 מַלְכִ֖ין מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=kings|Ref=DAN_7:17!8|MId=o270070170081|Strong=4430|Lang=arc 11 יְקוּמ֥וּן קוּם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 10 acl _ Gloss=they.will.arise|Ref=DAN_7:17!9|MId=o270070170091|Strong=6966|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270070170081;|Type=yiqtol 12 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=DAN_7:17!10|MId=o270070170101|Strong=4481|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 אַרְעָֽא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 אַרְע אֲרַע NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_7:17!11|MId=o270070170111|Strong=0772|Lang=arc 14 ָֽא א DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=earth|Ref=DAN_7:17!11|MId=o270070170112|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 15 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 14 punct _ Ref=DAN_7:17!11 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְקוּמוּן *they will arise* | yiqtol · peal | מַלְכִין *kings* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
