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: what happens in the verse to contentions, wounds, redness, 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 31 chapters of Proverbs on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. לְמִ֨י א֥וֹי לְמִ֪י אֲב֡וֹי לְמִ֤י מִדְיָנִ֨ים ׀ לְמִ֥י שִׂ֗יחַ לְ֭מִי פְּצָעִ֣ים חִנָּ֑ם לְ֝מִ֗י חַכְלִל֥וּת עֵינָֽיִם׃ [Who crieth: 'Woe'? who: 'Alas'? who hath contentions? who hath raving? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PRO.677/) ## 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:PRO:672 # text = לְמִ֨י א֥וֹי לְמִ֪י אֲב֡וֹי לְמִ֤י מִדְיָנִ֨ים ׀ לְמִ֥י שִׂ֗יחַ לְ֭מִי פְּצָעִ֣ים חִנָּ֑ם לְ֝מִ֗י חַכְלִל֥וּת עֵינָֽיִם׃ # verse = PRO.23.29 1-2 לְמִ֨י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=[belongs].to|Ref=PRO_23:29!1|MId=o200230290011|Strong=3807a 2 מִ֨י מִי PRON _ PronType=Int 0 root _ Gloss=whom?|Ref=PRO_23:29!1|MId=o200230290012|Strong=4310|Type=interrogative 3 א֥וֹי אוֹי INTJ _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=woe|Ref=PRO_23:29!2|MId=o200230290021|Strong=0188|Type=interjection 4-5 לְמִ֪י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=[belongs].to|Ref=PRO_23:29!3|MId=o200230290031|Strong=3807a 5 מִ֪י מִי PRON _ PronType=Int 2 parataxis _ Gloss=whom?|Ref=PRO_23:29!3|MId=o200230290032|Strong=4310|Type=interrogative 6 אֲב֡וֹי אֲבוֹי INTJ _ _ 5 nsubj _ Gloss=woe|Ref=PRO_23:29!4|MId=o200230290041|Strong=0017|Type=interjection 7-8 לְמִ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=[belong].to|Ref=PRO_23:29!5|MId=o200230290051|Strong=3807a 8 מִ֤י מִי PRON _ PronType=Int 2 parataxis _ Gloss=whom?|Ref=PRO_23:29!5|MId=o200230290052|Strong=4310|Type=interrogative 9 מִדְיָנִ֨ים מִדְיָן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 nsubj _ Gloss=contentions|Ref=PRO_23:29!7|MId=o200230290071|Strong=4079 10 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 9 punct _ Ref=PRO_23:29!7 11-12 לְמִ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=[belongs].to|Ref=PRO_23:29!8|MId=o200230290081|Strong=3807a 12 מִ֥י מִי PRON _ PronType=Int 2 parataxis _ Gloss=whom?|Ref=PRO_23:29!8|MId=o200230290082|Strong=4310|Type=interrogative 13 שִׂ֗יחַ שִׂיחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=complaint|Ref=PRO_23:29!9|MId=o200230290091|Strong=7879 14-15 לְ֭מִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לְ֭ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=[belong].to|Ref=PRO_23:29!10|MId=o200230290101|Strong=3807a 15 מִי מִי PRON _ PronType=Int 2 parataxis _ Gloss=whom?|Ref=PRO_23:29!10|MId=o200230290102|Strong=4310|Type=interrogative 16 פְּצָעִ֣ים פֶּצַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 nsubj _ Gloss=bruises|Ref=PRO_23:29!11|MId=o200230290111|Strong=6482 17 חִנָּ֑ם חִנָּם ADV _ _ 15 advmod _ Gloss=without.cause|Ref=PRO_23:29!12|MId=o200230290121|Strong=2600 18-19 לְ֝מִ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לְ֝ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=[belongs].to|Ref=PRO_23:29!13|MId=o200230290131|Strong=3807a 19 מִ֗י מִי PRON _ PronType=Int 2 parataxis _ Gloss=whom?|Ref=PRO_23:29!13|MId=o200230290132|Strong=4310|Type=interrogative 20 חַכְלִל֥וּת חַכְלִלוּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=dullness|Ref=PRO_23:29!14|MId=o200230290141|Strong=2448 21 עֵינָֽיִם עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.eyes|Ref=PRO_23:29!15|MId=o200230290151|Strong=5869|SpaceAfter=No 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=PRO_23:29!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: wh-question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no MACULA marks no verb frame in this verse. ## The Targum {#onkelos} לְמַן וַי לְמַן דֵיוָא וּלְמַן תַּגְרֵי וּלְמַן שׁוּחָא וּלְמַן פּוּדְעֲתָא מַגָן וּלְמַן סוּמְקָנוֹת עַיְנוֹי: The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew.
