The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — I — and what happens in the verse to sick certain days, business, I, vision, 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. וַאֲנִ֣י דָנִיֵּ֗אל נִהְיֵ֤יתִי וְנֶֽחֱלֵ֙יתִי֙ יָמִ֔ים וָאָק֕וּם וָאֶֽעֱשֶׂ֖ה אֶת־מְלֶ֣אכֶת הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ וָאֶשְׁתּוֹמֵ֥ם עַל־הַמַּרְאֶ֖ה וְאֵ֥ין מֵבִֽין׃פ [And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was appalled at the vision, but understood it not.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.264/) ## The tree {#tree} Right to left, as the Hebrew 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:DAN:50 # text = וַאֲנִ֣י דָנִיֵּ֗אל נִהְיֵ֤יתִי וְנֶֽחֱלֵ֙יתִי֙ יָמִ֔ים וָאָק֕וּם וָאֶֽעֱשֶׂ֖ה אֶת־מְלֶ֣אכֶת הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ וָאֶשְׁתּוֹמֵ֥ם עַל־הַמַּרְאֶ֖ה וְאֵ֥ין מֵבִֽין׃פ # verse = DAN.8.27 1-2 וַאֲנִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:27!1|MId=o270080270011|Strong=2050b 2 אֲנִ֣י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=DAN_8:27!1|MId=o270080270012|Strong=0589|Type=personal 3 דָנִיֵּ֗אל דָּנִיֵּאל PROPN _ _ 2 appos _ Gloss=Daniel|Ref=DAN_8:27!2|MId=o270080270021|Strong=1840 4 נִהְיֵ֤יתִי הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.was.exhausted|Ref=DAN_8:27!3|MId=o270080270031|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:270080270012;|Type=qatal 5-6 וְנֶֽחֱלֵ֙יתִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:27!4|MId=o270080270041|Strong=2050b 6 נֶֽחֱלֵ֙יתִי֙ חָלָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 4 conj _ Gloss=I.was.sick|Ref=DAN_8:27!4|MId=o270080270042|Strong=2470|Frame=A0:270080270021;|Type=qatal 7 יָמִ֔ים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 obl _ Gloss=days|Ref=DAN_8:27!5|MId=o270080270051|Strong=3117 8-9 וָאָק֕וּם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:27!6|MId=o270080270061|Strong=2050b 9 אָק֕וּם קוּם VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 4 conj _ Gloss=I.arose|Ref=DAN_8:27!6|MId=o270080270062|Strong=6965|Frame=A0:270080270021;|Type=wayyiqtol 10-11 וָאֶֽעֱשֶׂ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:27!7|MId=o270080270071|Strong=2050b 11 אֶֽעֱשֶׂ֖ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 9 conj _ Gloss=I.did|Ref=DAN_8:27!7|MId=o270080270072|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:270080270021;A1:270080270091;|Type=wayyiqtol 12 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DAN_8:27!8|MId=o270080270081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 13 מְלֶ֣אכֶת מְלֶאכֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=the.work|Ref=DAN_8:27!9|MId=o270080270091|Strong=4399 14-15 הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=DAN_8:27!10|MId=o270080270101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 מֶּ֑לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=DAN_8:27!10|MId=o270080270102|Strong=4428 16-17 וָאֶשְׁתּוֹמֵ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:27!11|MId=o270080270111|Strong=2050b 17 אֶשְׁתּוֹמֵ֥ם שָׁמֵם VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HITHPOLEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 4 conj _ Gloss=I.was.appalled|Ref=DAN_8:27!11|MId=o270080270112|Strong=8074|Frame=A0:270080270021;|Type=wayyiqtol 18 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=DAN_8:27!12|MId=o270080270121|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 19-20 הַמַּרְאֶ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_8:27!13|MId=o270080270131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 מַּרְאֶ֖ה מַרְאֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=vision|Ref=DAN_8:27!13|MId=o270080270132|Strong=4758 21-22 וְאֵ֥ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:27!14|MId=o270080270141|Strong=2050b 22 אֵ֥ין אַיִן ADV _ _ 4 conj _ Gloss=not|Ref=DAN_8:27!14|MId=o270080270142|Strong=0369|Type=negative 23 מֵבִֽין בִּין VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 22 nsubj _ Gloss=[I.was].understanding|Ref=DAN_8:27!15|MId=o270080270151|Strong=0995|Frame=A1:270080270132;|Type=participle_active|SpaceAfter=No 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=DAN_8:27!15|SpaceAfter=No 25 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=DAN_8:27!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** נִהְיֵיתִי *I was exhausted* | qatal · niphal | אֲנִי *I* | | | | | נֶֽחֱלֵיתִי *I was sick* | qatal · niphal | דָנִיֵּאל *Daniel* | | | | | אָקוּם *I arose* | wayyiqtol · qal | דָנִיֵּאל *Daniel* | | | | | אֶֽעֱשֶׂה *I did* | wayyiqtol · qal | דָנִיֵּאל *Daniel* | מְלֶאכֶת *the work* | | | | אֶשְׁתּוֹמֵם *I was appalled* | wayyiqtol · hithpolel | דָנִיֵּאל *Daniel* | | | | | מֵבִֽין *\[I was\] understanding* | participle active · hiphil | | מַּרְאֶה *vision* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
