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, 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. דֶּ֤רֶךְ הַנֶּ֨שֶׁר ׀ בַּשָּׁמַיִם֮ דֶּ֥רֶךְ נָחָ֗שׁ עֲלֵ֫י צ֥וּר דֶּֽרֶךְ־אֳנִיָּ֥ה בְלֶב־יָ֑ם וְדֶ֖רֶךְ גֶּ֣בֶר בְּעַלְמָֽה׃ [The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a young woman.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PRO.883/) ## 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:869 # text = דֶּ֤רֶךְ הַנֶּ֨שֶׁר ׀ בַּשָּׁמַיִם֮ דֶּ֥רֶךְ נָחָ֗שׁ עֲלֵ֫י צ֥וּר דֶּֽרֶךְ־אֳנִיָּ֥ה בְלֶב־יָ֑ם וְדֶ֖רֶךְ גֶּ֣בֶר בְּעַלְמָֽה׃ # verse = PRO.30.19 1 דֶּ֤רֶךְ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=the.way|Ref=PRO_30:19!1|MId=o200300190011|Strong=1870 2-3 הַנֶּ֨שֶׁר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 3 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=PRO_30:19!2|MId=o200300190021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 3 נֶּ֨שֶׁר נֶשֶׁר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.eagle|Ref=PRO_30:19!2|MId=o200300190022|Strong=5404 4 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 3 punct _ Ref=PRO_30:19!2 5-7 בַּשָּׁמַיִם֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=PRO_30:19!3|MId=o200300190031|Strong=0871a 6 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=PRO_30:19!3|MId=o200300190031ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 שָּׁמַיִם֮ שָׁמַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 1 nmod _ Gloss=heavens|Ref=PRO_30:19!3|MId=o200300190032|Strong=8064 8 דֶּ֥רֶךְ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 1 conj _ Gloss=[the].way|Ref=PRO_30:19!4|MId=o200300190041|Strong=1870 9 נָחָ֗שׁ נָחָשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.snake|Ref=PRO_30:19!5|MId=o200300190051|Strong=5175 10 עֲלֵ֫י עַל ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=PRO_30:19!6|MId=o200300190061|Strong=5921 11 צ֥וּר צוּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 nmod _ Gloss=a.rock|Ref=PRO_30:19!7|MId=o200300190071|Strong=6697 12 דֶּֽרֶךְ־ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 1 conj _ Gloss=[the].way|Ref=PRO_30:19!8|MId=o200300190081|Strong=1870|SpaceAfter=No 13 אֳנִיָּ֥ה אֳנִיָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.ship|Ref=PRO_30:19!9|MId=o200300190091|Strong=0591 14-15 בְלֶב־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=in.[the]|Ref=PRO_30:19!10|MId=o200300190101|Strong=0871a 15 לֶב־ לֵב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nmod _ Gloss=heart|Ref=PRO_30:19!10|MId=o200300190102|Strong=3820 16 יָ֑ם יָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].sea|Ref=PRO_30:19!11|MId=o200300190111|Strong=3220 17-18 וְדֶ֖רֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and.[the]|Ref=PRO_30:19!12|MId=o200300190121|Strong=2050b 18 דֶ֖רֶךְ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 1 conj _ Gloss=way|Ref=PRO_30:19!12|MId=o200300190122|Strong=1870 19 גֶּ֣בֶר גֶּבֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.man|Ref=PRO_30:19!13|MId=o200300190131|Strong=1397 20-21 בְּעַלְמָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=PRO_30:19!14|MId=o200300190141|Strong=0871a 21 עַלְמָֽה עַלְמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 nmod _ Gloss=a.young.woman|Ref=PRO_30:19!14|MId=o200300190142|Strong=5959 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=PRO_30:19!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no MACULA marks no verb frame in this verse. ## The Targum {#onkelos} אָרְחָא דְנִשְׁרָא בִשְׁמַיָא וְאוֹרְחֵיהּ דְחִוְיָא עַל שׁוּעָא וְאוֹרְחָא דְאִלְפָא בְּלִבֵּי דְיַמָא וְאָרְחָא דְגַבְרָא בְעוּלֶמְתָּא: The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew.
