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 — fear, all, praise, righteousness — and what happens in the verse to beginning, good understanding, LORD, 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. רֵ֘אשִׁ֤ית חָכְמָ֨ה ׀ יִרְאַ֬ת יְהוָ֗ה שֵׂ֣כֶל ט֭וֹבלְכָל־עֹשֵׂיהֶ֑ם תְּ֝הִלָּת֗וֹ עֹמֶ֥דֶת לָעַֽד׃ [The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do thereafter; His praise endureth for ever.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.2063/) ## 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:1927 # text = רֵ֘אשִׁ֤ית חָכְמָ֨ה ׀ יִרְאַ֬ת יְהוָ֗ה שֵׂ֣כֶל ט֭וֹבלְכָל־עֹשֵׂיהֶ֑ם תְּ֝הִלָּת֗וֹ עֹמֶ֥דֶת לָעַֽד׃ # verse = PSA.111.10 1 רֵ֘אשִׁ֤ית רֵאשִׁית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[is.the].beginning|Ref=PSA_111:10!1|MId=o191110100011|Strong=7225 2 חָכְמָ֨ה חׇכְמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.wisdom|Ref=PSA_111:10!2|MId=o191110100021|Strong=2451 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=PSA_111:10!2 4 יִרְאַ֬ת יִרְאָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 1 nsubj _ Gloss=the.fear|Ref=PSA_111:10!3|MId=o191110100031|Strong=3374 5 יְהוָ֗ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=PSA_111:10!4|MId=o191110100041|Strong=3068 6 שֵׂ֣כֶל שֵׂכֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 nsubj _ Gloss=an.understanding|Ref=PSA_111:10!5|MId=o191110100051|Strong=7922 7-9 ט֭וֹבלְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 ט֭וֹב טוֹב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 amod _ Gloss=good|Ref=PSA_111:10!6|MId=o191110100061|Strong=2896|Type=adjective 8 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=[belongs].to|Ref=PSA_111:10!7|MId=o191110100071|Strong=3807a 9 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 parataxis _ Gloss=all|Ref=PSA_111:10!7|MId=o191110100072|Strong=3605 10-11 עֹשֵׂיהֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 עֹשֵׂי עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=[those|Ref=PSA_111:10!8|MId=o191110100081|Strong=6213|Frame=A1:191110100082;|Type=participle_active 11 הֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=who].do.them|Ref=PSA_111:10!8|MId=o191110100082|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 12-13 תְּ֝הִלָּת֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 תְּ֝הִלָּת תְּהִלָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 nsubj _ Gloss=praise|Ref=PSA_111:10!9|MId=o191110100091|Strong=8416 13 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=PSA_111:10!9|MId=o191110100092|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 14 עֹמֶ֥דֶת עָמַד VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 1 parataxis _ Gloss=[is].enduring|Ref=PSA_111:10!10|MId=o191110100101|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:191110100091;|Type=participle_active 15-16 לָעַֽד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=forever|Ref=PSA_111:10!11|MId=o191110100111|Strong=3807a 16 עַֽד עַד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=PSA_111:10!11|MId=o191110100112|Strong=5703 17 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 16 punct _ Ref=PSA_111:10!11 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | עֹשֵׂי *\[those* | participle active · qal | | הֶם *who\] do them* | | | | עֹמֶדֶת *\[is\] enduring* | participle active · qal | תְּהִלָּת *praise* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
