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 — thou, thy — and what happens in the verse to proud waves, 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. וָאֹמַ֗ר עַד־פֹּ֣ה תָ֭בוֹא וְלֹ֣א תֹסִ֑יף וּפֹ֥א־יָ֝שִׁ֗ית בִּגְא֥וֹן גַּלֶּֽיךָ׃ [And said: 'Thus far shalt thou come, but no further; and here shall thy proud waves be stayed'?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/JOB.1012/) ## 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:934 # text = וָאֹמַ֗ר עַד־פֹּ֣ה תָ֭בוֹא וְלֹ֣א תֹסִ֑יף וּפֹ֥א־יָ֝שִׁ֗ית בִּגְא֥וֹן גַּלֶּֽיךָ׃ # verse = JOB.38.11 1-2 וָאֹמַ֗ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_38:11!1|MId=o180380110011|Strong=2050b 2 אֹמַ֗ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.said|Ref=JOB_38:11!1|MId=o180380110012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:180380010021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOB_38:11!2|MId=o180380110021|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 4 פֹּ֣ה פֹּה ADV _ _ 5 obl _ Gloss=here|Ref=JOB_38:11!3|MId=o180380110031|Strong=6311 5 תָ֭בוֹא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=you.will.come|Ref=JOB_38:11!4|MId=o180380110041|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:180380080031;|Type=yiqtol 6-7 וְלֹ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_38:11!5|MId=o180380110051|Strong=2050b 7 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 8 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JOB_38:11!5|MId=o180380110052|Strong=3808|Type=negative 8 תֹסִ֑יף יָסַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 5 conj _ Gloss=you.will.add|Ref=JOB_38:11!6|MId=o180380110061|Strong=3254|Frame=A0:180380080031;|Type=yiqtol 9-10 וּפֹ֥א־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_38:11!7|MId=o180380110071|Strong=2050b 10 פֹ֥א־ פֹּה ADV _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=here|Ref=JOB_38:11!7|MId=o180380110072|Strong=6311 11 יָ֝שִׁ֗ית שִׁית VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=someone.will.fix|Ref=JOB_38:11!8|MId=o180380110081|Strong=7896|Frame=A0:180380010021;|Type=yiqtol 12-13 בִּגְא֥וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JOB_38:11!9|MId=o180380110091|Strong=0871a 13 גְא֥וֹן גָּאוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=the.pride|Ref=JOB_38:11!9|MId=o180380110092|Strong=1347 14-15 גַּלֶּֽיךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 גַּלֶּֽי גַּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.waves|Ref=JOB_38:11!10|MId=o180380110101|Strong=1530a 15 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JOB_38:11!10|MId=o180380110102|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 16 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 15 punct _ Ref=JOB_38:11!10 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - indirect: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֹמַר *I said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | תָבוֹא *you will come* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | **not** תֹסִיף *you will add* | yiqtol · hiphil | | | | | | יָשִׁית *someone will fix* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
