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 — sparrow — and what happens in the verse to house, young, 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. גַּם־צִפּ֨וֹר ׀ מָ֪צְאָה בַ֡יִת וּדְר֤וֹר ׀ קֵ֥ן לָהּ֮ אֲשֶׁר־שָׁ֪תָה אֶפְרֹ֫חֶ֥יהָ אֶֽת־מִ֭זְבְּחוֹתֶיךָ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֑וֹת מַ֝לְכִּ֗י וֵאלֹהָֽי׃ [Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young; Thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God — .](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.1487/) ## 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:1380 # text = גַּם־צִפּ֨וֹר ׀ מָ֪צְאָה בַ֡יִת וּדְר֤וֹר ׀ קֵ֥ן לָהּ֮ אֲשֶׁר־שָׁ֪תָה אֶפְרֹ֫חֶ֥יהָ אֶֽת־מִ֭זְבְּחוֹתֶיךָ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֑וֹת מַ֝לְכִּ֗י וֵאלֹהָֽי׃ # verse = PSA.84.4 1 גַּם־ גַּם ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=PSA_84:4!1|MId=o190840040011|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation|SpaceAfter=No 2 צִפּ֨וֹר צִפּוֹר NOUN _ Number=Sing 4 nsubj _ Gloss=a.bird|Ref=PSA_84:4!2|MId=o190840040021|Strong=6833 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=PSA_84:4!2 4 מָ֪צְאָה מָצָא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.has.found|Ref=PSA_84:4!3|MId=o190840040031|Strong=4672|Frame=A0:190840040021;A1:190840040041;|Type=qatal 5 בַ֡יִת בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obj _ Gloss=a.home|Ref=PSA_84:4!4|MId=o190840040041|Strong=1004 6-7 וּדְר֤וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_84:4!5|MId=o190840040051|Strong=2050b 7 דְר֤וֹר דְּרוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=a.swallow|Ref=PSA_84:4!5|MId=o190840040052|Strong=1866 8 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 7 punct _ Ref=PSA_84:4!5 9 קֵ֥ן קֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=a.nest|Ref=PSA_84:4!6|MId=o190840040061|Strong=7064 10-11 לָהּ֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 ל לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=PSA_84:4!7|MId=o190840040071|Strong=3807a 11 ָהּ֮ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod _ Gloss=itself|Ref=PSA_84:4!7|MId=o190840040072|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 12 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=PSA_84:4!8|MId=o190840040081|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 13 שָׁ֪תָה שִׁית VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 9 acl:relcl _ Gloss=it.has.put|Ref=PSA_84:4!9|MId=o190840040091|Strong=7896|Frame=A0:190840040052;A1:190840040101;|Type=qatal 14-15 אֶפְרֹ֫חֶ֥יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 אֶפְרֹ֫חֶ֥י אֶפְרֹחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 obj _ Gloss=ones|Ref=PSA_84:4!10|MId=o190840040101|Strong=0667 15 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its.young|Ref=PSA_84:4!10|MId=o190840040102|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 16 אֶֽת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=PSA_84:4!11|MId=o190840040111|Strong=0854|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 17-18 מִ֭זְבְּחוֹתֶיךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 מִ֭זְבְּחוֹתֶי מִזְבֵּחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 obl _ Gloss=altars|Ref=PSA_84:4!12|MId=o190840040121|Strong=4196 18 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=PSA_84:4!12|MId=o190840040122|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 19 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 4 parataxis _ Gloss=O.Yahweh|Ref=PSA_84:4!13|MId=o190840040131|Strong=3068 20 צְבָא֑וֹת צָבָא NOUN _ Number=Plur 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.hosts|Ref=PSA_84:4!14|MId=o190840040141|Strong=6635 21-22 מַ֝לְכִּ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 מַ֝לְכּ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 appos _ Gloss=king|Ref=PSA_84:4!15|MId=o190840040151|Strong=4428 22 ִ֗י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=PSA_84:4!15|MId=o190840040152|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 23-25 וֵאלֹהָֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וֵ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_84:4!16|MId=o190840040161|Strong=2050b 24 אלֹה אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 21 conj _ Gloss=God|Ref=PSA_84:4!16|MId=o190840040162|Strong=0430 25 ָֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=PSA_84:4!16|MId=o190840040163|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=PSA_84:4!16 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | מָצְאָה *it has found* | qatal · qal | צִפּוֹר *a bird* | בַיִת *a home* | | | | שָׁתָה *it has put* | qatal · qal | דְרוֹר *a swallow* | אֶפְרֹחֶי *ones* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
