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 — rocks — and what happens in the verse to desert, 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. וַיּוֹסִ֣יפוּ ע֭וֹדלַחֲטֹא־ל֑וֹ לַֽמְר֥וֹת עֶ֝לְי֗וֹן בַּצִּיָּֽה׃ [Yet went they on still to sin against Him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.1344/) ## 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:1244 # text = וַיּוֹסִ֣יפוּ ע֭וֹדלַחֲטֹא־ל֑וֹ לַֽמְר֥וֹת עֶ֝לְי֗וֹן בַּצִּיָּֽה׃ # verse = PSA.78.17 1-2 וַיּוֹסִ֣יפוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_78:17!1|MId=o190780170011|Strong=2050b 2 יּוֹסִ֣יפוּ יָסַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.repeated|Ref=PSA_78:17!1|MId=o190780170012|Strong=3254|Frame=A0:190780120021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-5 ע֭וֹדלַחֲטֹא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 ע֭וֹד עוֹד ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=again|Ref=PSA_78:17!2|MId=o190780170021|Strong=5750 4 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PSA_78:17!3|MId=o190780170031|Strong=3807a 5 חֲטֹא־ חָטָא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 xcomp _ Gloss=sin|Ref=PSA_78:17!3|MId=o190780170032|Strong=2398|Frame=A0:190780120021;|Type=infinitive_construct 6-7 ל֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 ל לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PSA_78:17!4|MId=o190780170041|Strong=3807a 7 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=PSA_78:17!4|MId=o190780170042|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 8-9 לַֽמְר֥וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לַֽ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=PSA_78:17!5|MId=o190780170051|Strong=3807a 9 מְר֥וֹת מָרָה VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 5 advcl _ Gloss=rebelling.against|Ref=PSA_78:17!5|MId=o190780170052|Strong=4784|Frame=AA:190780120021;A0:190780170061;|Type=infinitive_construct 10 עֶ֝לְי֗וֹן עֶלְיוֹן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obj _ Gloss=the.Most.High|Ref=PSA_78:17!6|MId=o190780170061|Strong=5945a|Type=adjective 11-13 בַּצִּיָּֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=PSA_78:17!7|MId=o190780170071|Strong=0871a 12 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the.dry|Ref=PSA_78:17!7|MId=o190780170071ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 צִּיָּֽה צִיָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=region|Ref=PSA_78:17!7|MId=o190780170072|Strong=6723 14 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 13 punct _ Ref=PSA_78:17!7 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יּוֹסִיפוּ *they repeated* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | | | | | | חֲטֹא־ *sin* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | מְרוֹת *rebelling against* | infinitive construct · hiphil | עֶלְיוֹן *the Most High* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
