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 — wife — and what happens in the verse to innermost 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. אֶשְׁתְּךָ֤ ׀ כְּגֶ֥פֶן פֹּרִיָּה֮ בְּיַרְכְּתֵ֪י בֵ֫יתֶ֥ךָ בָּ֭נֶיךָ כִּשְׁתִלֵ֣י זֵיתִ֑ים סָ֝בִ֗יב לְשֻׁלְחָנֶֽךָ׃ [Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of thy house; thy children like olive plants, round about thy table.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.2405/) ## 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:2253 # text = אֶשְׁתְּךָ֤ ׀ כְּגֶ֥פֶן פֹּרִיָּה֮ בְּיַרְכְּתֵ֪י בֵ֫יתֶ֥ךָ בָּ֭נֶיךָ כִּשְׁתִלֵ֣י זֵיתִ֑ים סָ֝בִ֗יב לְשֻׁלְחָנֶֽךָ׃ # verse = PSA.128.3 1-2 אֶשְׁתְּךָ֤ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 אֶשְׁתּ אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 nsubj _ Gloss=wife|Ref=PSA_128:3!1|MId=o191280030011|Strong=0802 2 ְךָ֤ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 1 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=PSA_128:3!1|MId=o191280030012|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=PSA_128:3!1 4-5 כְּגֶ֥פֶן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=[will|Ref=PSA_128:3!2|MId=o191280030021|Strong=3509a 5 גֶ֥פֶן גֶּפֶן NOUN _ Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=be].like.a.vine|Ref=PSA_128:3!2|MId=o191280030022|Strong=1612 6 פֹּרִיָּה֮ פָּרָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 5 nmod _ Gloss=fruitful|Ref=PSA_128:3!3|MId=o191280030031|Strong=6509|Frame=A0:191280030022;|Type=participle_active 7-8 בְּיַרְכְּתֵ֪י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=PSA_128:3!4|MId=o191280030041|Strong=0871a 8 יַרְכְּתֵ֪י יַרְכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 5 obl _ Gloss=the.innermost.parts|Ref=PSA_128:3!4|MId=o191280030042|Strong=3411 9-10 בֵ֫יתֶ֥ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בֵ֫ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.house|Ref=PSA_128:3!5|MId=o191280030051|Strong=1004 10 ֶ֥ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=PSA_128:3!5|MId=o191280030052|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 11-12 בָּ֭נֶיךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בָּ֭נֶי בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 nsubj _ Gloss=children|Ref=PSA_128:3!6|MId=o191280030061|Strong=1121 12 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=PSA_128:3!6|MId=o191280030062|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 13-14 כִּשְׁתִלֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 כִּ כְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=[will|Ref=PSA_128:3!7|MId=o191280030071|Strong=3509a 14 שְׁתִלֵ֣י שָׁתִיל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 parataxis _ Gloss=be].like.shoots|Ref=PSA_128:3!7|MId=o191280030072|Strong=8363 15 זֵיתִ֑ים זַיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.olive.trees|Ref=PSA_128:3!8|MId=o191280030081|Strong=2132 16 סָ֝בִ֗יב סָבִיב ADV _ Number=Sing 18 advmod _ Gloss=around|Ref=PSA_128:3!9|MId=o191280030091|Strong=5439 17-19 לְשֻׁלְחָנֶֽךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=PSA_128:3!10|MId=o191280030101|Strong=3807a 18 שֻׁלְחָנ שֻׁלְחָן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=table|Ref=PSA_128:3!10|MId=o191280030102|Strong=7979 19 ֶֽךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=PSA_128:3!10|MId=o191280030103|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=PSA_128:3!10 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | פֹּרִיָּה *fruitful* | participle active · qal | גֶפֶן *be\] like a vine* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
