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 — servant, Moabitish damsel — and what happens in the verse to servant, reapers, Moabitish damsel, field, 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 4 chapters of Ruth on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיַּ֗עַן הַנַּ֛עַר הַנִּצָּ֥ב עַל־הַקּוֹצְרִ֖ים וַיֹּאמַ֑ר נַעֲרָ֤ה מֽוֹאֲבִיָּה֙ הִ֔יא הַשָּׁ֥בָה עִֽם־נָעֳמִ֖י מִשְּׂדֵ֥ה מוֹאָֽב׃ [And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said: 'It is a Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the field of Moab;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/RUT.31/) ## 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:RUT:27 # text = וַיַּ֗עַן הַנַּ֛עַר הַנִּצָּ֥ב עַל־הַקּוֹצְרִ֖ים וַיֹּאמַ֑ר נַעֲרָ֤ה מֽוֹאֲבִיָּה֙ הִ֔יא הַשָּׁ֥בָה עִֽם־נָעֳמִ֖י מִשְּׂדֵ֥ה מוֹאָֽב׃ # verse = RUT.2.6 1-2 וַיַּ֗עַן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_2:6!1|MId=o080020060011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּ֗עַן עָנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.answered|Ref=RUT_2:6!1|MId=o080020060012|Strong=6030|Frame=A0:080020060022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הַנַּ֛עַר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=RUT_2:6!2|MId=o080020060021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 נַּ֛עַר נַעַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=servant|Ref=RUT_2:6!2|MId=o080020060022|Strong=5288 5-6 הַנִּצָּ֥ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 6 mark _ Gloss=[who|Ref=RUT_2:6!3|MId=o080020060031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 נִּצָּ֥ב נָצַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing 4 acl:relcl _ Gloss=was].appointed|Ref=RUT_2:6!3|MId=o080020060032|Strong=5324|Frame=A0:080020060022;|Type=participle_active 7 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=RUT_2:6!4|MId=o080020060041|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 8-9 הַקּוֹצְרִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=the|Ref=RUT_2:6!5|MId=o080020060051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 קּוֹצְרִ֖ים קָצַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 6 advcl _ Gloss=harvesters|Ref=RUT_2:6!5|MId=o080020060052|Strong=7114|Type=participle_active 10-11 וַיֹּאמַ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_2:6!6|MId=o080020060061|Strong=2050b 11 יֹּאמַ֑ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=RUT_2:6!6|MId=o080020060062|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:080020060022;|Type=wayyiqtol 12 נַעֲרָ֤ה נַעֲרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 ccomp _ Gloss=[is].a.young.woman|Ref=RUT_2:6!7|MId=o080020060071|Strong=5291 13 מֽוֹאֲבִיָּה֙ מוֹאָבִי NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 appos _ Gloss=Moabite|Ref=RUT_2:6!8|MId=o080020060081|Strong=4125|Type=gentilic 14 הִ֔יא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nsubj _ Gloss=she|Ref=RUT_2:6!9|MId=o080020060091|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 15-16 הַשָּׁ֥בָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=RUT_2:6!10|MId=o080020060101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 שָּׁ֥בָה שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 12 appos _ Gloss=she.returned|Ref=RUT_2:6!10|MId=o080020060102|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:080020060071;|Type=participle_active 17 עִֽם־ עִם ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=RUT_2:6!11|MId=o080020060111|Strong=5973|SpaceAfter=No 18 נָעֳמִ֖י נׇעֳמִי PROPN _ _ 16 obl _ Gloss=Naomi|Ref=RUT_2:6!12|MId=o080020060121|Strong=5281 19-20 מִשְּׂדֵ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=RUT_2:6!13|MId=o080020060131|Strong=4480 20 שְּׂדֵ֥ה שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=the.region|Ref=RUT_2:6!13|MId=o080020060132|Strong=7704 21 מוֹאָֽב מוֹאָב PROPN _ _ 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Moab|Ref=RUT_2:6!14|MId=o080020060141|Strong=4124|SpaceAfter=No 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=RUT_2:6!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַּעַן *he answered* | wayyiqtol · qal | נַּעַר *servant* | | | | | נִּצָּב *was\] appointed* | participle active · niphal | נַּעַר *servant* | | | | | יֹּאמַר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | נַּעַר *servant* | | | | | שָּׁבָה *she returned* | participle active · qal | נַעֲרָה *\[is\] a young woman* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
