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 — houses, means — and what happens in the verse to lands, 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. קִרְבָּ֤ם בָּתֵּ֨ימוֹ ׀ לְֽעוֹלָ֗ם מִ֭שְׁכְּנֹתָם לְדֹ֣ר וָדֹ֑ר קָֽרְא֥וּ בִ֝שְׁמוֹתָ֗ם עֲלֵ֣י אֲדָמֽוֹת׃ [Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling-places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.807/) ## 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:747 # text = קִרְבָּ֤ם בָּתֵּ֨ימוֹ ׀ לְֽעוֹלָ֗ם מִ֭שְׁכְּנֹתָם לְדֹ֣ר וָדֹ֑ר קָֽרְא֥וּ בִ֝שְׁמוֹתָ֗ם עֲלֵ֣י אֲדָמֽוֹת׃ # verse = PSA.49.12 1-2 קִרְבָּ֤ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 קִרְבּ קֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=being|Ref=PSA_49:12!1|MId=o190490120011|Strong=7130 2 ָ֤ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 1 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their.inner|Ref=PSA_49:12!1|MId=o190490120012|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 3-4 בָּתֵּ֨ימוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בָּתֵּ֨י בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 nsubj _ Gloss=houses|Ref=PSA_49:12!2|MId=o190490120021|Strong=1004 4 מוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[are].their|Ref=PSA_49:12!2|MId=o190490120022|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 5 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 4 punct _ Ref=PSA_49:12!2 6-7 לְֽעוֹלָ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לְֽ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=forever|Ref=PSA_49:12!3|MId=o190490120031|Strong=3807a 7 עוֹלָ֗ם עוֹלָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=of.perpetuity|Ref=PSA_49:12!3|MId=o190490120032|Strong=5769 8-9 מִ֭שְׁכְּנֹתָם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 מִ֭שְׁכְּנֹת מִשְׁכָּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 nsubj _ Gloss=places|Ref=PSA_49:12!4|MId=o190490120041|Strong=4908 9 ָם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their.dwelling|Ref=PSA_49:12!4|MId=o190490120042|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 10-11 לְדֹ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PSA_49:12!5|MId=o190490120051|Strong=3807a 11 דֹ֣ר דּוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 parataxis _ Gloss=a.generation|Ref=PSA_49:12!5|MId=o190490120052|Strong=1755 12-13 וָדֹ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_49:12!6|MId=o190490120061|Strong=2050b 13 דֹ֑ר דּוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 conj _ Gloss=a.generation|Ref=PSA_49:12!6|MId=o190490120062|Strong=1755 14 קָֽרְא֥וּ קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 7 parataxis _ Gloss=they.called|Ref=PSA_49:12!7|MId=o190490120071|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:190490110031;190490110061;190490110072;|Type=qatal 15-17 בִ֝שְׁמוֹתָ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בִ֝ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=PSA_49:12!8|MId=o190490120081|Strong=0871a 16 שְׁמוֹת שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 obl _ Gloss=names|Ref=PSA_49:12!8|MId=o190490120082|Strong=8034 17 ָ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=PSA_49:12!8|MId=o190490120083|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 18 עֲלֵ֣י עַל ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=PSA_49:12!9|MId=o190490120091|Strong=5921 19 אֲדָמֽוֹת אֲדָמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 14 obl _ Gloss=lands|Ref=PSA_49:12!10|MId=o190490120101|Strong=0127|SpaceAfter=No 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=PSA_49:12!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | קָֽרְאוּ *they called* | qatal · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
