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 — sin, cursing — and what happens in the verse to sin, inward parts, 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 150 chapters of Psalms on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיִּלְבַּ֥שׁ קְלָלָ֗ה כְּמַ֫דּ֥וֹ וַתָּבֹ֣א כַמַּ֣יִם בְּקִרְבּ֑וֹ וְ֝כַשֶּׁ֗מֶן בְּעַצְמוֹתָֽיו׃ [He clothed himself also with cursing as with his raiment, and it is come into his inward parts like water, and like oil into his bones.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.2032/) ## 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:PSA:1897 # text = וַיִּלְבַּ֥שׁ קְלָלָ֗ה כְּמַ֫דּ֥וֹ וַתָּבֹ֣א כַמַּ֣יִם בְּקִרְבּ֑וֹ וְ֝כַשֶּׁ֗מֶן בְּעַצְמוֹתָֽיו׃ # verse = PSA.109.18 1-2 וַיִּלְבַּ֥שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_109:18!1|MId=o191090180011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּלְבַּ֥שׁ לָבֵשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.put.on|Ref=PSA_109:18!1|MId=o191090180012|Strong=3847|Frame=A0:191090020031;191090020051;A1:191090180021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 קְלָלָ֗ה קְלָלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=a.curse|Ref=PSA_109:18!2|MId=o191090180021|Strong=7045 4-6 כְּמַ֫דּ֥וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=PSA_109:18!3|MId=o191090180031|Strong=3509a 5 מַ֫דּ מַד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=garment|Ref=PSA_109:18!3|MId=o191090180032|Strong=4055 6 ֥וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=PSA_109:18!3|MId=o191090180033|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 7-8 וַתָּבֹ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_109:18!4|MId=o191090180041|Strong=2050b 8 תָּבֹ֣א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.went|Ref=PSA_109:18!4|MId=o191090180042|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:191090180021;|Type=wayyiqtol 9-11 כַמַּ֣יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 כַ כְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=PSA_109:18!5|MId=o191090180051|Strong=3509a 10 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=PSA_109:18!5|MId=o191090180051ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 מַּ֣יִם מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 obl _ Gloss=water|Ref=PSA_109:18!5|MId=o191090180052|Strong=4325 12-14 בְּקִרְבּ֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=PSA_109:18!6|MId=o191090180061|Strong=0871a 13 קִרְבּ קֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=his.inward|Ref=PSA_109:18!6|MId=o191090180062|Strong=7130 14 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=part[s]|Ref=PSA_109:18!6|MId=o191090180063|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15-18 וְ֝כַשֶּׁ֗מֶן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ֝ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_109:18!7|MId=o191090180071|Strong=2050b 16 כַ כְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=PSA_109:18!7|MId=o191090180072|Strong=3509a 17 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=PSA_109:18!7|MId=o191090180072ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 שֶּׁ֗מֶן שֶׁמֶן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 conj _ Gloss=oil|Ref=PSA_109:18!7|MId=o191090180073|Strong=8081 19-21 בְּעַצְמוֹתָֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=PSA_109:18!8|MId=o191090180081|Strong=0871a 20 עַצְמוֹתָֽי עֶצֶם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 18 obl _ Gloss=bones|Ref=PSA_109:18!8|MId=o191090180082|Strong=6106 21 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=PSA_109:18!8|MId=o191090180083|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=PSA_109:18!8 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּלְבַּשׁ *he put on* | wayyiqtol · qal | | קְלָלָה *a curse* | | | | תָּבֹא *it went* | wayyiqtol · qal | קְלָלָה *a curse* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
