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 — High — and what happens in the verse to mention, man, Zion, 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. וּֽלֲצִיּ֨וֹן ׀ יֵאָמַ֗ר אִ֣ישׁ וְ֭אִישׁ יֻלַּד־בָּ֑הּ וְה֖וּא יְכוֹנְנֶ֣הָ עֶלְיֽוֹן׃ [But of Zion it shall be said: 'This man and that was born in her; and the Most High Himself doth establish her.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.1536/) ## 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:1425 # text = וּֽלֲצִיּ֨וֹן ׀ יֵאָמַ֗ר אִ֣ישׁ וְ֭אִישׁ יֻלַּד־בָּ֑הּ וְה֖וּא יְכוֹנְנֶ֣הָ עֶלְיֽוֹן׃ # verse = PSA.87.5 1-3 וּֽלֲצִיּ֨וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_87:5!1|MId=o190870050011|Strong=2050b 2 לֲ לְ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=PSA_87:5!1|MId=o190870050012|Strong=3807a 3 צִיּ֨וֹן צִיּוֹן PROPN _ _ 5 obl _ Gloss=Zion|Ref=PSA_87:5!1|MId=o190870050013|Strong=6726 4 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 3 punct _ Ref=PSA_87:5!1 5 יֵאָמַ֗ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.will.be.said|Ref=PSA_87:5!2|MId=o190870050021|Strong=0559|Type=yiqtol 6 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 nsubj _ Gloss=a.person|Ref=PSA_87:5!3|MId=o190870050031|Strong=0376 7-8 וְ֭אִישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ֭ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_87:5!4|MId=o190870050041|Strong=2050b 8 אִישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=a.person|Ref=PSA_87:5!4|MId=o190870050042|Strong=0376 9 יֻלַּד־ יָלַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PUAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 ccomp _ Gloss=he.was.born|Ref=PSA_87:5!5|MId=o190870050051|Strong=3205|Frame=A1:190870050031;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 10-11 בָּ֑הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=PSA_87:5!6|MId=o190870050061|Strong=0871a 11 ָ֑הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=PSA_87:5!6|MId=o190870050062|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 12-13 וְה֖וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_87:5!7|MId=o190870050071|Strong=2050b 13 ה֖וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=PSA_87:5!7|MId=o190870050072|Strong=1931|Type=personal 14-15 יְכוֹנְנֶ֣הָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 יְכוֹנְנ כּוּן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=POLEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 9 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=PSA_87:5!8|MId=o190870050081|Strong=3559|Frame=A0:190870050072;A1:190870050082;|Type=yiqtol 15 ֶ֣הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 obj _ Gloss=will.establish.it|Ref=PSA_87:5!8|MId=o190870050082|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 16 עֶלְיֽוֹן עֶלְיוֹן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 amod _ Gloss=the.Most.High|Ref=PSA_87:5!9|MId=o190870050091|Strong=5945a|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 17 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 16 punct _ Ref=PSA_87:5!9 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֻלַּד־ *he was born* | qatal · pual | | אִישׁ *a person* | | | | יְכוֹנְנ *he* | yiqtol · polel | הוּא *he* | ֶהָ *will establish it* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
