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, thou, Naomi — and what happens in the verse to field, name, inheritance, dead, 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. וַיֹּ֣אמֶר בֹּ֔עַז בְּיוֹם־קְנוֹתְךָ֥ הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה מִיַּ֣ד נָעֳמִ֑י וּ֠מֵאֵת ר֣וּת הַמּוֹאֲבִיָּ֤ה אֵֽשֶׁת־הַמֵּת֙ קָנִ֔יתָה לְהָקִ֥ים שֵׁם־הַמֵּ֖ת עַל־נַחֲלָתֽוֹ׃ [Then said Boaz: 'What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi — hast thou also bought of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance?'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/RUT.75/) ## 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:67 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר בֹּ֔עַז בְּיוֹם־קְנוֹתְךָ֥ הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה מִיַּ֣ד נָעֳמִ֑י וּ֠מֵאֵת ר֣וּת הַמּוֹאֲבִיָּ֤ה אֵֽשֶׁת־הַמֵּת֙ קָנִ֔יתָה לְהָקִ֥ים שֵׁם־הַמֵּ֖ת עַל־נַחֲלָתֽוֹ׃ # verse = RUT.4.5 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_4:5!1|MId=o080040050011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=RUT_4:5!1|MId=o080040050012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:080040050021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 בֹּ֔עַז בֹּעַז PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Boaz|Ref=RUT_4:5!2|MId=o080040050021|Strong=1162 4-5 בְּיוֹם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=RUT_4:5!3|MId=o080040050031|Strong=0871a 5 יוֹם־ יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=the.day|Ref=RUT_4:5!3|MId=o080040050032|Strong=3117 6-7 קְנוֹתְךָ֥ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 קְנוֹת קָנָה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 5 acl _ Gloss=acquire|Ref=RUT_4:5!4|MId=o080040050041|Strong=7069|Frame=A0:080040050042;A1:080040050052;|Type=infinitive_construct 7 ְךָ֥ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=RUT_4:5!4|MId=o080040050042|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 8-9 הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=RUT_4:5!5|MId=o080040050051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 שָּׂדֶ֖ה שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=field|Ref=RUT_4:5!5|MId=o080040050052|Strong=7704 10-11 מִיַּ֣ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=RUT_4:5!6|MId=o080040050061|Strong=4480 11 יַּ֣ד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=the.hand|Ref=RUT_4:5!6|MId=o080040050062|Strong=3027 12 נָעֳמִ֑י נׇעֳמִי PROPN _ _ 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Naomi|Ref=RUT_4:5!7|MId=o080040050071|Strong=5281 13-15 וּ֠מֵאֵת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וּ֠ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_4:5!8|MId=o080040050081|Strong=2050b 14 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=RUT_4:5!8|MId=o080040050082|Strong=4480 15 אֵת אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=RUT_4:5!8|MId=o080040050083|Strong=0854|Type=direct_object_marker 16 ר֣וּת רוּת PROPN _ _ 22 obl _ Gloss=Ruth|Ref=RUT_4:5!9|MId=o080040050091|Strong=7327 17-18 הַמּוֹאֲבִיָּ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=the.Moabite|Ref=RUT_4:5!10|MId=o080040050101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 מּוֹאֲבִיָּ֤ה מוֹאָבִי NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 appos _ Gloss=[woman]|Ref=RUT_4:5!10|MId=o080040050102|Strong=4125|Type=gentilic 19 אֵֽשֶׁת־ אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 appos _ Gloss=the.wife|Ref=RUT_4:5!11|MId=o080040050111|Strong=0802|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 הַמֵּת֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=RUT_4:5!12|MId=o080040050121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 מֵּת֙ מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.dead.[man]|Ref=RUT_4:5!12|MId=o080040050122|Strong=4191|Frame=A0:080010050041;|Type=participle_active 22 קָנִ֔יתָה קָנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 5 conj _ Gloss=you.have.acquired|Ref=RUT_4:5!14|MId=o080040050141|Strong=7069|Frame=A0:080040030023;|Type=qatal 23-24 לְהָקִ֥ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=RUT_4:5!15|MId=o080040050151|Strong=3807a 24 הָקִ֥ים קוּם VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 22 advcl _ Gloss=raise.up|Ref=RUT_4:5!15|MId=o080040050152|Strong=6965|Frame=AA:080040030023;A0:080040050161;|Type=infinitive_construct 25 שֵׁם־ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 obj _ Gloss=the.name|Ref=RUT_4:5!16|MId=o080040050161|Strong=8034|SpaceAfter=No 26-27 הַמֵּ֖ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=RUT_4:5!17|MId=o080040050171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 מֵּ֖ת מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.dead.[man]|Ref=RUT_4:5!17|MId=o080040050172|Strong=4191|Frame=A0:080010050041;|Type=participle_active 28 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=RUT_4:5!18|MId=o080040050181|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 29-30 נַחֲלָתֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 נַחֲלָת נַחֲלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 24 obl _ Gloss=inheritance|Ref=RUT_4:5!19|MId=o080040050191|Strong=5159 30 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 29 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=RUT_4:5!19|MId=o080040050192|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=RUT_4:5!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
