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 — spirit, you, gentleness — and what happens in the verse to thee, place, great offences, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of the Targum and 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 Ecclesiastes on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. אִם־ר֤וּחַ הַמּוֹשֵׁל֙ תַּעֲלֶ֣ה עָלֶ֔יךָ מְקוֹמְךָ֖ אַל־תַּנַּ֑ח כִּ֣י מַרְפֵּ֔א יַנִּ֖יחַ חֲטָאִ֥ים גְּדוֹלִֽים׃ [If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for gentleness allayeth great offences.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/ECC.191/) ## 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:ECC:181 # text = אִם־ר֤וּחַ הַמּוֹשֵׁל֙ תַּעֲלֶ֣ה עָלֶ֔יךָ מְקוֹמְךָ֖ אַל־תַּנַּ֑ח כִּ֣י מַרְפֵּ֔א יַנִּ֖יחַ חֲטָאִ֥ים גְּדוֹלִֽים׃ # verse = ECC.10.4 1 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=ECC_10:4!1|MId=o210100040011|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 2 ר֤וּחַ רוּחַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 5 nsubj _ Gloss=the.spirit|Ref=ECC_10:4!2|MId=o210100040021|Strong=7307 3-4 הַמּוֹשֵׁל֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=ECC_10:4!3|MId=o210100040031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 מּוֹשֵׁל֙ מָשַׁל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.ruler|Ref=ECC_10:4!3|MId=o210100040032|Strong=4910|Type=participle_active 5 תַּעֲלֶ֣ה עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 11 advcl _ Gloss=it.will.go.up|Ref=ECC_10:4!4|MId=o210100040041|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:210100040021;|Type=yiqtol 6-7 עָלֶ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 עָלֶ֔י עַל ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=towards|Ref=ECC_10:4!5|MId=o210100040051|Strong=5921 7 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=ECC_10:4!5|MId=o210100040052|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 8-9 מְקוֹמְךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 מְקוֹמ מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=place|Ref=ECC_10:4!6|MId=o210100040061|Strong=4725 9 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=ECC_10:4!6|MId=o210100040062|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 10 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=ECC_10:4!7|MId=o210100040071|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 11 תַּנַּ֑ח נוח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=leave|Ref=ECC_10:4!8|MId=o210100040081|Strong=5117|Frame=AA:210120120031;A0:210100040061;|Type=jussive 12 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ECC_10:4!9|MId=o210100040091|Strong=3588 13 מַרְפֵּ֔א מַרְפֵּא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 nsubj _ Gloss=health|Ref=ECC_10:4!10|MId=o210100040101|Strong=4832a 14 יַנִּ֖יחַ נוח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 11 advcl _ Gloss=it.will.cause.to.rest|Ref=ECC_10:4!11|MId=o210100040111|Strong=5117|Frame=AA:210100040101;A0:210100040121;|Type=yiqtol 15 חֲטָאִ֥ים חֵטְא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 obj _ Gloss=sins|Ref=ECC_10:4!12|MId=o210100040121|Strong=2399 16 גְּדוֹלִֽים גָּדוֹל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 amod _ Gloss=great|Ref=ECC_10:4!13|MId=o210100040131|Strong=1419|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 17 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 16 punct _ Ref=ECC_10:4!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תַּעֲלֶה *it will go up* | yiqtol · qal | רוּחַ *the spirit* | | | | | **not** תַּנַּח *leave* | jussive · hiphil | מְקוֹמ *place* | | | | | יַנִּיחַ *it will cause to rest* | yiqtol · hiphil | חֲטָאִים *sins* | | | מַרְפֵּא *health* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
