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 — Boaz, me, I — and what happens in the verse to me, you, little, house, 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. וַתֹּ֗אמֶר אֲלַקֳטָה־נָּא֙ וְאָסַפְתִּ֣י בָֽעֳמָרִ֔ים אַחֲרֵ֖י הַקּוֹצְרִ֑ים וַתָּב֣וֹא וַֽתַּעֲמ֗וֹד מֵאָ֤ז הַבֹּ֙קֶר֙ וְעַד־עַ֔תָּה זֶ֛ה שִׁבְתָּ֥הּ הַבַּ֖יִת מְעָֽט׃ [and she said: Let me glean, I pray you, and gather after the reapers among the sheaves; so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, save that she tarried a little in the house.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/RUT.32/) ## 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:28 # text = וַתֹּ֗אמֶר אֲלַקֳטָה־נָּא֙ וְאָסַפְתִּ֣י בָֽעֳמָרִ֔ים אַחֲרֵ֖י הַקּוֹצְרִ֑ים וַתָּב֣וֹא וַֽתַּעֲמ֗וֹד מֵאָ֤ז הַבֹּ֙קֶר֙ וְעַד־עַ֔תָּה זֶ֛ה שִׁבְתָּ֥הּ הַבַּ֖יִת מְעָֽט׃ # verse = RUT.2.7 1-2 וַתֹּ֗אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_2:7!1|MId=o080020070011|Strong=2050b 2 תֹּ֗אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=she.said|Ref=RUT_2:7!1|MId=o080020070012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:080020050082;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֲלַקֳטָה־ לָקַט VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 ccomp _ Gloss=let.me.glean|Ref=RUT_2:7!2|MId=o080020070021|Strong=3950|Frame=A0:080020050082;|Type=cohortative|SpaceAfter=No 4 נָּא֙ נָא INTJ _ _ 3 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=RUT_2:7!3|MId=o080020070031|Strong=4994|Type=interjection 5-6 וְאָסַפְתִּ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_2:7!4|MId=o080020070041|Strong=2050b 6 אָסַפְתִּ֣י אָסַף VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 3 conj _ Gloss=I.will.gather|Ref=RUT_2:7!4|MId=o080020070042|Strong=0622|Frame=A0:080020050082;|Type=weqatal 7-9 בָֽעֳמָרִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בָֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=among|Ref=RUT_2:7!5|MId=o080020070051|Strong=0871a 8 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=RUT_2:7!5|MId=o080020070051ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 עֳמָרִ֔ים עֹמֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 obl _ Gloss=sheaves|Ref=RUT_2:7!5|MId=o080020070052|Strong=6016 10 אַחֲרֵ֖י אַחַר ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=behind|Ref=RUT_2:7!6|MId=o080020070061|Strong=0310 11-12 הַקּוֹצְרִ֑ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=the|Ref=RUT_2:7!7|MId=o080020070071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 קּוֹצְרִ֑ים קָצַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 6 advcl _ Gloss=harvesters|Ref=RUT_2:7!7|MId=o080020070072|Strong=7114|Type=participle_active 13-14 וַתָּב֣וֹא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_2:7!8|MId=o080020070081|Strong=2050b 14 תָּב֣וֹא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.came|Ref=RUT_2:7!8|MId=o080020070082|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:080020050082;|Type=wayyiqtol 15-16 וַֽתַּעֲמ֗וֹד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_2:7!9|MId=o080020070091|Strong=2050b 16 תַּעֲמ֗וֹד עָמַד VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 14 conj _ Gloss=she.has.stayed|Ref=RUT_2:7!9|MId=o080020070092|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:080020050082;|Type=wayyiqtol 17-18 מֵאָ֤ז _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=RUT_2:7!10|MId=o080020070101|Strong=4480 18 אָ֤ז אָז ADV _ _ 16 obl _ Gloss=then|Ref=RUT_2:7!10|MId=o080020070102|Strong=0227 19-20 הַבֹּ֙קֶר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=RUT_2:7!11|MId=o080020070111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 בֹּ֙קֶר֙ בֹּקֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 nmod _ Gloss=morning|Ref=RUT_2:7!11|MId=o080020070112|Strong=1242 21-22 וְעַד־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_2:7!12|MId=o080020070121|Strong=2050b 22 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=RUT_2:7!12|MId=o080020070122|Strong=5704 23 עַ֔תָּה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 18 conj _ Gloss=now|Ref=RUT_2:7!13|MId=o080020070131|Strong=6258 24 זֶ֛ה זֶה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 25 nsubj _ Gloss=this|Ref=RUT_2:7!14|MId=o080020070141|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 25-26 שִׁבְתָּ֥הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 שִׁבְתּ יָשַׁב VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 parataxis _ Gloss=sitting|Ref=RUT_2:7!15|MId=o080020070151|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:080020070152;|Type=infinitive_construct 26 ָ֥הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nsubj _ Gloss=her|Ref=RUT_2:7!15|MId=o080020070152|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 27-28 הַבַּ֖יִת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=RUT_2:7!16|MId=o080020070161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 בַּ֖יִת בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 obl _ Gloss=house|Ref=RUT_2:7!16|MId=o080020070162|Strong=1004 29 מְעָֽט מְעַט ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 advmod _ Gloss=little|Ref=RUT_2:7!17|MId=o080020070171|Strong=4592|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=RUT_2:7!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - hedged: yes (נָא) - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תֹּאמֶר *she said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | אֲלַקֳטָה־ *let me glean* | cohortative · piel | | | | | | אָסַפְתִּי *I will gather* | weqatal · qal | | | | | | תָּבוֹא *she came* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | תַּעֲמוֹד *she has stayed* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | שִׁבְתּ *sitting* | infinitive construct · qal | ָהּ *her* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
