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 — Nethinim, Ziha — and what happens in the verse to Ophel, Nethinim, 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 13 chapters of Nehemiah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וְהַנְּתִינִ֖ים יֹשְׁבִ֣ים בָּעֹ֑פֶל וְצִיחָ֥א וְגִשְׁפָּ֖א עַל־הַנְּתִינִֽים׃פ [But the Nethinim dwelt in Ophel; and Ziha and Gishpa were over the Nethinim.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/NEH.341/) ## 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:NEH:311 # text = וְהַנְּתִינִ֖ים יֹשְׁבִ֣ים בָּעֹ֑פֶל וְצִיחָ֥א וְגִשְׁפָּ֖א עַל־הַנְּתִינִֽים׃פ # verse = NEH.11.21 1-3 וְהַנְּתִינִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_11:21!1|MId=o160110210011|Strong=2050b 2 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 3 det _ Gloss=the.temple|Ref=NEH_11:21!1|MId=o160110210012|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 3 נְּתִינִ֖ים נָתִין NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 nsubj _ Gloss=servants|Ref=NEH_11:21!1|MId=o160110210013|Strong=5411 4 יֹשְׁבִ֣ים יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=[were].dwelling|Ref=NEH_11:21!2|MId=o160110210021|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:160110210013;|Type=participle_active 5-7 בָּעֹ֑פֶל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NEH_11:21!3|MId=o160110210031|Strong=0871a 6 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=NEH_11:21!3|MId=o160110210031ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 עֹ֑פֶל עֹפֶל PROPN _ _ 4 obl _ Gloss=Ophel|Ref=NEH_11:21!3|MId=o160110210032|Strong=6077 8-9 וְצִיחָ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_11:21!4|MId=o160110210041|Strong=2050b 9 צִיחָ֥א צִיחָא PROPN _ _ 14 nsubj _ Gloss=Ziha|Ref=NEH_11:21!4|MId=o160110210042|Strong=6727 10-11 וְגִשְׁפָּ֖א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_11:21!5|MId=o160110210051|Strong=2050b 11 גִשְׁפָּ֖א גִּשְׁפָּא PROPN _ _ 9 conj _ Gloss=Gishpa|Ref=NEH_11:21!5|MId=o160110210052|Strong=1658 12 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=[were].over|Ref=NEH_11:21!6|MId=o160110210061|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 הַנְּתִינִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the.temple|Ref=NEH_11:21!7|MId=o160110210071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 נְּתִינִֽים נָתִין NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 conj _ Gloss=servants|Ref=NEH_11:21!7|MId=o160110210072|Strong=5411 15 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 14 punct _ Ref=NEH_11:21!7|SpaceAfter=No 16 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 14 punct _ Ref=NEH_11:21!7 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹשְׁבִים *\[were\] dwelling* | participle active · qal | נְּתִינִים *servants* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
