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, he goat, goat — and what happens in the verse to west, ground, conspicuous horn, 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 ׀ הָיִ֣יתִי מֵבִ֗ין וְהִנֵּ֤ה צְפִיר־הָֽעִזִּים֙ בָּ֤א מִן־הַֽמַּעֲרָב֙ עַל־פְּנֵ֣י כָל־הָאָ֔רֶץ וְאֵ֥ין נוֹגֵ֖עַ בָּאָ֑רֶץ וְהַ֨צָּפִ֔יר קֶ֥רֶן חָז֖וּת בֵּ֥ין עֵינָֽיו׃ [And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.242/) ## 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:28 # text = וַאֲנִ֣י ׀ הָיִ֣יתִי מֵבִ֗ין וְהִנֵּ֤ה צְפִיר־הָֽעִזִּים֙ בָּ֤א מִן־הַֽמַּעֲרָב֙ עַל־פְּנֵ֣י כָל־הָאָ֔רֶץ וְאֵ֥ין נוֹגֵ֖עַ בָּאָ֑רֶץ וְהַ֨צָּפִ֔יר קֶ֥רֶן חָז֖וּת בֵּ֥ין עֵינָֽיו׃ # verse = DAN.8.5 1-2 וַאֲנִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:5!1|MId=o270080050011|Strong=2050b 2 אֲנִ֣י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=DAN_8:5!1|MId=o270080050012|Strong=0589|Type=personal 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=DAN_8:5!1 4 הָיִ֣יתִי הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.was|Ref=DAN_8:5!2|MId=o270080050021|Strong=1961|Type=qatal 5 מֵבִ֗ין בִּין VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 4 dep _ Gloss=observing|Ref=DAN_8:5!3|MId=o270080050031|Strong=0995|Frame=A0:270080050012;|Type=participle_active 6-7 וְהִנֵּ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:5!4|MId=o270080050041|Strong=2050b 7 הִנֵּ֤ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 11 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=DAN_8:5!4|MId=o270080050042|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 8 צְפִיר־ צָפִיר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=the.he-goat|Ref=DAN_8:5!5|MId=o270080050051|Strong=6842|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 הָֽעִזִּים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=DAN_8:5!6|MId=o270080050061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 עִזִּים֙ עֵז NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.goats|Ref=DAN_8:5!6|MId=o270080050062|Strong=5795 11 בָּ֤א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=[was].coming|Ref=DAN_8:5!7|MId=o270080050071|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:270080050051;|Type=participle_active 12 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=DAN_8:5!8|MId=o270080050081|Strong=4480|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 הַֽמַּעֲרָב֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_8:5!9|MId=o270080050091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 מַּעֲרָב֙ מַעֲרָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=west|Ref=DAN_8:5!9|MId=o270080050092|Strong=4628 15 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=DAN_8:5!10|MId=o270080050101|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 16 פְּנֵ֣י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 11 obl _ Gloss=the.surface|Ref=DAN_8:5!11|MId=o270080050111|Strong=6440 17 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.all|Ref=DAN_8:5!12|MId=o270080050121|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 18-19 הָאָ֔רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_8:5!13|MId=o270080050131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 אָ֔רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=earth|Ref=DAN_8:5!13|MId=o270080050132|Strong=0776 20-21 וְאֵ֥ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:5!14|MId=o270080050141|Strong=2050b 21 אֵ֥ין אַיִן ADV _ _ 11 conj _ Gloss=not|Ref=DAN_8:5!14|MId=o270080050142|Strong=0369|Type=negative 22 נוֹגֵ֖עַ נָגַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=[it.was].touching|Ref=DAN_8:5!15|MId=o270080050151|Strong=5060|Type=participle_active 23-25 בָּאָ֑רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=DAN_8:5!16|MId=o270080050161|Strong=0871a 24 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_8:5!16|MId=o270080050161ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 אָ֑רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=earth|Ref=DAN_8:5!16|MId=o270080050162|Strong=0776 26-28 וְהַ֨צָּפִ֔יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 32 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:5!17|MId=o270080050171|Strong=2050b 27 הַ֨ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_8:5!17|MId=o270080050172|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 צָּפִ֔יר צָפִיר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 32 dislocated _ Gloss=he-goat|Ref=DAN_8:5!17|MId=o270080050173|Strong=6842 29 קֶ֥רֶן קֶרֶן NOUN _ Number=Sing 32 nsubj _ Gloss=a.horn|Ref=DAN_8:5!18|MId=o270080050181|Strong=7161 30 חָז֖וּת חָזוּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 29 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.conspicuousness|Ref=DAN_8:5!19|MId=o270080050191|Strong=2380 31 בֵּ֥ין בֵּין ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=[was].between|Ref=DAN_8:5!20|MId=o270080050201|Strong=0996 32-33 עֵינָֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 עֵינָֽי עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 4 conj _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=DAN_8:5!21|MId=o270080050211|Strong=5869 33 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 32 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=DAN_8:5!21|MId=o270080050212|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=DAN_8:5!21 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | מֵבִין *observing* | participle active · hiphil | אֲנִי *I* | | | | | **not** בָּא *\[was\] coming* | participle active · qal | צְפִיר־ *the he-goat* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
