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 — Apharesachites, Tattenai — and what happens in the verse to copy, letter, 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 10 chapters of Ezra on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. פַּרְשֶׁ֣גֶן אִ֠גַּרְתָּא דִּֽי־שְׁלַ֞ח תַּתְּנַ֣י ׀ פַּחַ֣ת עֲבַֽר־נַהֲרָ֗ה וּשְׁתַ֤ר בּוֹזְנַי֙ שְׁתַ֤ר בּוֹזְנַי֙ וּכְנָ֣וָתֵ֔הּ אֲפַ֨רְסְכָיֵ֔א דִּ֖י בַּעֲבַ֣ר נַהֲרָ֑ה עַל־דָּרְיָ֖וֶשׁ מַלְכָּֽא׃ [The copy of the letter that Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai, and his companions the Apharesachites, who were beyond the River, sent unto Darius the king;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/EZR.125/) ## 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:EZR:22 # text = פַּרְשֶׁ֣גֶן אִ֠גַּרְתָּא דִּֽי־שְׁלַ֞ח תַּתְּנַ֣י ׀ פַּחַ֣ת עֲבַֽר־נַהֲרָ֗ה וּשְׁתַ֤ר בּוֹזְנַי֙ שְׁתַ֤ר בּוֹזְנַי֙ וּכְנָ֣וָתֵ֔הּ אֲפַ֨רְסְכָיֵ֔א דִּ֖י בַּעֲבַ֣ר נַהֲרָ֑ה עַל־דָּרְיָ֖וֶשׁ מַלְכָּֽא׃ # verse = EZR.5.6 1 פַּרְשֶׁ֣גֶן פַּרְשֶׁגֶן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=(the).copy|Ref=EZR_5:6!1|MId=o150050060011|Strong=6573|Lang=arc 2-3 אִ֠גַּרְתָּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 אִ֠גַּרְתּ אִגְּרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZR_5:6!2|MId=o150050060021|Strong=0104|Lang=arc 3 ָא א DET _ PronType=Art 2 det _ Gloss=the.letter|Ref=EZR_5:6!2|MId=o150050060022|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 4 דִּֽי־ דִּי SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=EZR_5:6!3|MId=o150050060031|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 5 שְׁלַ֞ח שְׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.sent|Ref=EZR_5:6!4|MId=o150050060041|Strong=7972|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:150050060051;150050060092;150050060102;A1:150050060021;|Type=qatal 6 תַּתְּנַ֣י תַּתְּנַי PROPN _ _ 5 nsubj _ Gloss=Tattenai|Ref=EZR_5:6!5|MId=o150050060051|Strong=8674|Lang=arc 7 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 6 punct _ Ref=EZR_5:6!5 8 פַּחַ֣ת פֶּחָה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 appos _ Gloss=the.governor|Ref=EZR_5:6!6|MId=o150050060061|Strong=6347|Lang=arc 9 עֲבַֽר־ עֲבַר PROPN _ _ 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.region.beyond|Ref=EZR_5:6!7|MId=o150050060071|Strong=5675|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 10-11 נַהֲרָ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 נַהֲר נְהַר PROPN _ _ 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZR_5:6!8|MId=o150050060081|Strong=5103|Lang=arc 11 ָ֗ה ה DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=river|Ref=EZR_5:6!8|MId=o150050060082|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 12-13 וּשְׁתַ֤ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=|Ref=EZR_5:6!9|MId=o150050060091|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 13 שְׁתַ֤ר שְׁתַר PROPN _ _ 6 conj _ Gloss=and.Shethar-Bozenai|Ref=EZR_5:6!9|MId=o150050060092|Lang=arc 14 בּוֹזְנַי֙ בּוֹזְנַי PROPN _ _ 13 flat:name _ Ref=EZR_5:6!9 15 שְׁתַ֤ר שְׁתַר PROPN _ _ 6 conj _ Gloss=and.Shethar-Bozenai|Ref=EZR_5:6!10|MId=o150050060101|Lang=arc 16 בּוֹזְנַי֙ בּוֹזְנַי PROPN _ _ 15 flat:name _ Ref=EZR_5:6!10 17-19 וּכְנָ֣וָתֵ֔הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_5:6!11|MId=o150050060111|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 18 כְנָ֣וָת כְּנָת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 conj _ Gloss=associates|Ref=EZR_5:6!11|MId=o150050060112|Strong=3675|Lang=arc 19 ֵ֔הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EZR_5:6!11|MId=o150050060113|Strong=1886h|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 20-21 אֲפַ֨רְסְכָיֵ֔א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 אֲפַ֨רְסְכָי אֲפַרְסְכָי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 appos _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZR_5:6!12|MId=o150050060121|Strong=0671|Lang=arc 21 ֵ֔א א DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=officials|Ref=EZR_5:6!12|MId=o150050060122|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 22 דִּ֖י דִּי SCONJ _ _ 24 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=EZR_5:6!13|MId=o150050060131|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|Type=relative 23-24 בַּעֲבַ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=[were].in|Ref=EZR_5:6!14|MId=o150050060141|Strong=0871b|Lang=arc 24 עֲבַ֣ר עֲבַר PROPN _ _ 20 acl:relcl _ Gloss=the.region.beyond|Ref=EZR_5:6!14|MId=o150050060142|Strong=5675|Lang=arc 25-26 נַהֲרָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 נַהֲר נְהַר PROPN _ _ 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZR_5:6!15|MId=o150050060151|Strong=5103|Lang=arc 26 ָ֑ה ה DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=river|Ref=EZR_5:6!15|MId=o150050060152|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 27 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZR_5:6!16|MId=o150050060161|Strong=5922|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 28 דָּרְיָ֖וֶשׁ דָּרְיָוֶשׁ PROPN _ _ 5 obl _ Gloss=Darius|Ref=EZR_5:6!17|MId=o150050060171|Strong=1868|Lang=arc 29-30 מַלְכָּֽא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 מַלְכּ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 appos _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZR_5:6!18|MId=o150050060181|Strong=4430|Lang=arc 30 ָֽא א DET _ PronType=Art 29 det _ Gloss=king|Ref=EZR_5:6!18|MId=o150050060182|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=EZR_5:6!18 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שְׁלַח *he sent* | qatal · peal | תַּתְּנַי *Tattenai* + שְׁתַר *and Shethar-Bozenai* | אִגַּרְתּ *of* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
