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 — Esther, petition, Jews, ten sons, day — and what happens in the verse to king, petition, Jews, Shushan, ten sons, gallows, 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 10 chapters of Esther on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַתֹּ֤אמֶר אֶסְתֵּר֙ אִם־עַל־הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ ט֔וֹב יִנָּתֵ֣ן גַּם־מָחָ֗ר לַיְּהוּדִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּשׁוּשָׁ֔ן לַעֲשׂ֖וֹת כְּדָ֣ת הַיּ֑וֹם וְאֵ֛ת עֲשֶׂ֥רֶת בְּנֵֽי־הָמָ֖ן יִתְל֥וּ עַל־הָעֵֽץ׃ [Then said Esther: 'If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews that are in Shushan to do to-morrow also according unto this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/EST.159/) ## 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:EST:144 # text = וַתֹּ֤אמֶר אֶסְתֵּר֙ אִם־עַל־הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ ט֔וֹב יִנָּתֵ֣ן גַּם־מָחָ֗ר לַיְּהוּדִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּשׁוּשָׁ֔ן לַעֲשׂ֖וֹת כְּדָ֣ת הַיּ֑וֹם וְאֵ֛ת עֲשֶׂ֥רֶת בְּנֵֽי־הָמָ֖ן יִתְל֥וּ עַל־הָעֵֽץ׃ # verse = EST.9.13 1-2 וַתֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EST_9:13!1|MId=o170090130011|Strong=2050b 2 תֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=she.said|Ref=EST_9:13!1|MId=o170090130012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:170090130021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֶסְתֵּר֙ אֶסְתֵּר PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Esther|Ref=EST_9:13!2|MId=o170090130021|Strong=0635 4 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 8 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=EST_9:13!3|MId=o170090130031|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 5 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=[is].on|Ref=EST_9:13!4|MId=o170090130041|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EST_9:13!5|MId=o170090130051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 מֶּ֣לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=king|Ref=EST_9:13!5|MId=o170090130052|Strong=4428 8 ט֔וֹב טוֹב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 advcl _ Gloss=good|Ref=EST_9:13!6|MId=o170090130061|Strong=2896|Type=adjective 9 יִנָּתֵ֣ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=let.it.be.permitted|Ref=EST_9:13!7|MId=o170090130071|Strong=5414|Type=jussive 10 גַּם־ גַּם ADV _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=EST_9:13!8|MId=o170090130081|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation|SpaceAfter=No 11 מָחָ֗ר מָחָר ADV _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 advmod _ Gloss=tomorrow|Ref=EST_9:13!9|MId=o170090130091|Strong=4279 12-14 לַיְּהוּדִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EST_9:13!10|MId=o170090130101|Strong=3807a 13 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EST_9:13!10|MId=o170090130101ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 יְּהוּדִים֙ יְהוּדִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 obl _ Gloss=Jews|Ref=EST_9:13!10|MId=o170090130102|Strong=3064|Type=adjective 15 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=EST_9:13!11|MId=o170090130111|Strong=0834|Type=relative 16-17 בְּשׁוּשָׁ֔ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=[are].in|Ref=EST_9:13!12|MId=o170090130121|Strong=0871a 17 שׁוּשָׁ֔ן שׁוּשַׁן PROPN _ _ 14 acl:relcl _ Gloss=Susa|Ref=EST_9:13!12|MId=o170090130122|Strong=7800 18-19 לַעֲשׂ֖וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EST_9:13!13|MId=o170090130131|Strong=3807a 19 עֲשׂ֖וֹת עָשָׂה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 9 xcomp _ Gloss=do|Ref=EST_9:13!13|MId=o170090130132|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:170090130103;|Type=infinitive_construct 20-21 כְּדָ֣ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=according|Ref=EST_9:13!14|MId=o170090130141|Strong=3509a 21 דָ֣ת דָּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=to.the.law|Ref=EST_9:13!14|MId=o170090130142|Strong=1881 22-23 הַיּ֑וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EST_9:13!15|MId=o170090130151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 יּ֑וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=this.day|Ref=EST_9:13!15|MId=o170090130152|Strong=3117 24-25 וְאֵ֛ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EST_9:13!16|MId=o170090130161|Strong=2050b 25 אֵ֛ת אֵת ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EST_9:13!16|MId=o170090130162|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 26 עֲשֶׂ֥רֶת עֲשָׂרָה NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 nummod _ Gloss=the.ten|Ref=EST_9:13!17|MId=o170090130171|Strong=6235|Type=cardinal_number 27 בְּנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 29 obj _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=EST_9:13!18|MId=o170090130181|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 28 הָמָ֖ן הָמָן PROPN _ _ 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Haman|Ref=EST_9:13!19|MId=o170090130191|Strong=2001 29 יִתְל֥וּ תָּלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 9 conj _ Gloss=let.them.hang|Ref=EST_9:13!20|MId=o170090130201|Strong=8518|Frame=A0:;A1:170090130181;|Type=jussive 30 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EST_9:13!21|MId=o170090130211|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 31-32 הָעֵֽץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 32 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EST_9:13!22|MId=o170090130221|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 32 עֵֽץ עֵץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 29 obl _ Gloss=gallows|Ref=EST_9:13!22|MId=o170090130222|Strong=6086 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=EST_9:13!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תֹּאמֶר *she said* | wayyiqtol · qal | אֶסְתֵּר *Esther* | | | | | עֲשׂוֹת *do* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | יִתְלוּ *let them hang* | jussive · qal | | בְּנֵֽי־ *the sons* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
