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 — palace — and what happens in the verse to roll, Ahmetha, province, record, 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. וְהִשְׁתְּכַ֣ח בְּאַחְמְתָ֗א בְּבִֽירְתָ֛א דִּ֛י בְּמָדַ֥י מְדִינְתָּ֖ה מְגִלָּ֣ה חֲדָ֑ה וְכֵן־כְּתִ֥יב בְּגַוַּ֖הּ דִּכְרוֹנָֽה׃פ [And there was found at Ahmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, a roll, and therein was thus written: 'A record.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/EZR.138/) ## 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:35 # text = וְהִשְׁתְּכַ֣ח בְּאַחְמְתָ֗א בְּבִֽירְתָ֛א דִּ֛י בְּמָדַ֥י מְדִינְתָּ֖ה מְגִלָּ֣ה חֲדָ֑ה וְכֵן־כְּתִ֥יב בְּגַוַּ֖הּ דִּכְרוֹנָֽה׃פ # verse = EZR.6.2 1-2 וְהִשְׁתְּכַ֣ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_6:2!1|MId=o150060020011|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 2 הִשְׁתְּכַ֣ח שְׁכַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPEEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was.found|Ref=EZR_6:2!1|MId=o150060020012|Strong=7912|Lang=arc|Frame=A1:150060020071;|Type=qatal 3-4 בְּאַחְמְתָ֗א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZR_6:2!2|MId=o150060020021|Strong=0871b|Lang=arc 4 אַחְמְתָ֗א אַחְמְתָא PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Ecbatana|Ref=EZR_6:2!2|MId=o150060020022|Strong=0307|Lang=arc 5-7 בְּבִֽירְתָ֛א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZR_6:2!3|MId=o150060020031|Strong=0871b|Lang=arc 6 בִֽירְת בִּירָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZR_6:2!3|MId=o150060020032|Strong=1001|Lang=arc 7 ָ֛א א DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=citadel|Ref=EZR_6:2!3|MId=o150060020033|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 8 דִּ֛י דִּי SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=EZR_6:2!4|MId=o150060020041|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|Type=relative 9-10 בְּמָדַ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=[is].in|Ref=EZR_6:2!5|MId=o150060020051|Strong=0871b|Lang=arc 10 מָדַ֥י מָדַי PROPN _ _ 6 acl:relcl _ Gloss=Media|Ref=EZR_6:2!5|MId=o150060020052|Strong=4076|Lang=arc 11-12 מְדִינְתָּ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 מְדִינְתּ מְדִינָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 appos _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZR_6:2!6|MId=o150060020061|Strong=4083|Lang=arc 12 ָ֖ה ה DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=province|Ref=EZR_6:2!6|MId=o150060020062|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 13 מְגִלָּ֣ה מְגִלָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=a.scroll|Ref=EZR_6:2!7|MId=o150060020071|Strong=4040|Lang=arc 14 חֲדָ֑ה חַד NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 nummod _ Gloss=one|Ref=EZR_6:2!8|MId=o150060020081|Strong=2298|Lang=arc|Type=cardinal_number 15-16 וְכֵן־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_6:2!9|MId=o150060020091|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 16 כֵן־ כֵּן ADV _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=as.follows|Ref=EZR_6:2!9|MId=o150060020092|Strong=3652|Lang=arc 17 כְּתִ֥יב כְּתַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.was.written|Ref=EZR_6:2!10|MId=o150060020101|Strong=3790|Lang=arc|Frame=A1:150060020121;|Type=qatal 18-20 בְּגַוַּ֖הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZR_6:2!11|MId=o150060020111|Strong=0871b|Lang=arc 19 גַוּ גֹּוא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=midst|Ref=EZR_6:2!11|MId=o150060020112|Strong=1459|Lang=arc 20 ַ֖הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=EZR_6:2!11|MId=o150060020113|Strong=1886i|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 21-22 דִּכְרוֹנָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 דִּכְרוֹנ דִּכְרוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 nsubj _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=EZR_6:2!12|MId=o150060020121|Strong=1799|Lang=arc 22 ָֽה ה DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=memorandum|Ref=EZR_6:2!12|MId=o150060020122|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=EZR_6:2!12|SpaceAfter=No 24 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=EZR_6:2!12 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הִשְׁתְּכַח *it was found* | qatal · hithpeel | | מְגִלָּה *a scroll* | | | | כְּתִיב *it was written* | qatal · peil | | דִּכְרוֹנ *(the)* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
