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 — hope, tender branch, tree — and what happens in the verse to hope, 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 42 chapters of Job on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. כִּ֤י יֵ֥שׁ לָעֵ֗ץ תִּ֫קְוָ֥ה אִֽם־יִ֭כָּרֵת וְע֣וֹד יַחֲלִ֑יף וְ֝יֹֽנַקְתּ֗וֹ לֹ֣א תֶחְדָּֽל׃ [For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/JOB.347/) ## 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:JOB:318 # text = כִּ֤י יֵ֥שׁ לָעֵ֗ץ תִּ֫קְוָ֥ה אִֽם־יִ֭כָּרֵת וְע֣וֹד יַחֲלִ֑יף וְ֝יֹֽנַקְתּ֗וֹ לֹ֣א תֶחְדָּֽל׃ # verse = JOB.14.7 1 כִּ֤י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JOB_14:7!1|MId=o180140070011|Strong=3588 2 יֵ֥שׁ יֵשׁ ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=there.[is]|Ref=JOB_14:7!2|MId=o180140070021|Strong=3426|Type=demonstrative 3-5 לָעֵ֗ץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JOB_14:7!3|MId=o180140070031|Strong=3807a 4 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=a|Ref=JOB_14:7!3|MId=o180140070031ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 עֵ֗ץ עֵץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=tree|Ref=JOB_14:7!3|MId=o180140070032|Strong=6086 6 תִּ֫קְוָ֥ה תִּקְוָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=hope|Ref=JOB_14:7!4|MId=o180140070041|Strong=8615 7 אִֽם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 8 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=JOB_14:7!5|MId=o180140070051|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 8 יִ֭כָּרֵת כָּרַת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 11 advcl _ Gloss=it.will.be.cut.down|Ref=JOB_14:7!6|MId=o180140070061|Strong=3772|Frame=A1:180140070033;|Type=yiqtol 9-10 וְע֣וֹד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_14:7!7|MId=o180140070071|Strong=2050b 10 ע֣וֹד עוֹד ADV _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=again|Ref=JOB_14:7!7|MId=o180140070072|Strong=5750 11 יַחֲלִ֑יף חָלַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=it.will.sprout.afresh|Ref=JOB_14:7!8|MId=o180140070081|Strong=2498|Frame=A0:180140070033;|Type=yiqtol 12-14 וְ֝יֹֽנַקְתּ֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ֝ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_14:7!9|MId=o180140070091|Strong=2050b 13 יֹֽנַקְתּ יוֹנֶקֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 nsubj _ Gloss=its.young|Ref=JOB_14:7!9|MId=o180140070092|Strong=3127 14 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=shoot[s]|Ref=JOB_14:7!9|MId=o180140070093|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JOB_14:7!10|MId=o180140070101|Strong=3808|Type=negative 16 תֶחְדָּֽל חָדַל VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.will.fail|Ref=JOB_14:7!11|MId=o180140070111|Strong=2308|Frame=A0:180140070092;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 17 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 16 punct _ Ref=JOB_14:7!11 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִכָּרֵת *it will be cut down* | yiqtol · niphal | | | | | | יַחֲלִיף *it will sprout afresh* | yiqtol · hiphil | | | | | | **not** תֶחְדָּֽל *it will fail* | yiqtol · qal | יֹֽנַקְתּ *its young* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
