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 — Song, precious oil, beard — and what happens in the verse to beard, collar, 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. כַּשֶּׁ֤מֶן הַטּ֨וֹב ׀ עַל־הָרֹ֗אשׁ יֹרֵ֗ד עַֽל־הַזָּקָ֥ן זְקַֽן־אַהֲרֹ֑ן שֶׁ֝יֹּרֵ֗ד עַל־פִּ֥י מִדּוֹתָֽיו׃ [It is like the precious oil upon the head, coming down upon the beard; even Aaron's beard, that cometh down upon the collar of his garments;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.2452/) ## 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:2295 # text = כַּשֶּׁ֤מֶן הַטּ֨וֹב ׀ עַל־הָרֹ֗אשׁ יֹרֵ֗ד עַֽל־הַזָּקָ֥ן זְקַֽן־אַהֲרֹ֑ן שֶׁ֝יֹּרֵ֗ד עַל־פִּ֥י מִדּוֹתָֽיו׃ # verse = PSA.133.2 1-3 כַּשֶּׁ֤מֶן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=PSA_133:2!1|MId=o191330020011|Strong=3509a 2 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 3 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=PSA_133:2!1|MId=o191330020011ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 3 שֶּׁ֤מֶן שֶׁמֶן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=oil|Ref=PSA_133:2!1|MId=o191330020012|Strong=8081 4-5 הַטּ֨וֹב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=PSA_133:2!2|MId=o191330020021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 טּ֨וֹב טוֹב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 amod _ Gloss=good|Ref=PSA_133:2!2|MId=o191330020022|Strong=2896a|Type=adjective 6 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 5 punct _ Ref=PSA_133:2!2 7 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=PSA_133:2!3|MId=o191330020031|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 8-9 הָרֹ֗אשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=PSA_133:2!4|MId=o191330020041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 רֹ֗אשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 nmod _ Gloss=head|Ref=PSA_133:2!4|MId=o191330020042|Strong=7218 10 יֹרֵ֗ד יָרַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 3 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[which].runs.down|Ref=PSA_133:2!5|MId=o191330020051|Strong=3381|Frame=A0:191330020013;|Type=participle_active 11 עַֽל־ עַל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=PSA_133:2!6|MId=o191330020061|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 12-13 הַזָּקָ֥ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=PSA_133:2!7|MId=o191330020071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 זָּקָ֥ן זָקָן NOUN _ Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=beard|Ref=PSA_133:2!7|MId=o191330020072|Strong=2206 14 זְקַֽן־ זָקָן NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 appos _ Gloss=the.beard|Ref=PSA_133:2!8|MId=o191330020081|Strong=2206|SpaceAfter=No 15 אַהֲרֹ֑ן אַהֲרֹן PROPN _ _ 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Aaron|Ref=PSA_133:2!9|MId=o191330020091|Strong=0175 16-17 שֶׁ֝יֹּרֵ֗ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 שֶׁ֝ שֶׁ SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=which.[is]|Ref=PSA_133:2!10|MId=o191330020101|Strong=7578a|Type=relative 17 יֹּרֵ֗ד יָרַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 3 acl:relcl _ Gloss=running.down|Ref=PSA_133:2!10|MId=o191330020102|Strong=3381|Frame=A0:191330020013;|Type=participle_active 18 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=PSA_133:2!11|MId=o191330020111|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 19 פִּ֥י פֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=the.opening|Ref=PSA_133:2!12|MId=o191330020121|Strong=6310 20-21 מִדּוֹתָֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 מִדּוֹתָֽי מַד NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.robes|Ref=PSA_133:2!13|MId=o191330020131|Strong=4060 21 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=PSA_133:2!13|MId=o191330020132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=PSA_133:2!13 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹרֵד *\[which\] runs down* | participle active · qal | | | | | | יֹּרֵד *running down* | participle active · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
