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 — head — and what happens in the verse to king, tresses, 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 8 chapters of Song of Songs on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. רֹאשֵׁ֤ךְ עָלַ֙יִךְ֙ כַּכַּרְמֶ֔ל וְדַלַּ֥ת רֹאשֵׁ֖ךְ כָּאַרְגָּמָ֑ן מֶ֖לֶךְ אָס֥וּר בָּרְהָטִֽים׃ [Thy head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thy head like purple; the king is held captive in the tresses thereof.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/SNG.109/) ## 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:SNG:94 # text = רֹאשֵׁ֤ךְ עָלַ֙יִךְ֙ כַּכַּרְמֶ֔ל וְדַלַּ֥ת רֹאשֵׁ֖ךְ כָּאַרְגָּמָ֑ן מֶ֖לֶךְ אָס֥וּר בָּרְהָטִֽים׃ # verse = SNG.7.6 1-2 רֹאשֵׁ֤ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 רֹאשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=head|Ref=SNG_7:6!1|MId=o220070060011|Strong=7218 2 ֵ֤ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 1 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=SNG_7:6!1|MId=o220070060012|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 3-4 עָלַ֙יִךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 עָלַ֙י עַל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=SNG_7:6!2|MId=o220070060021|Strong=5921 4 ִךְ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 1 nmod _ Gloss=you|Ref=SNG_7:6!2|MId=o220070060022|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 5-7 כַּכַּרְמֶ֔ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=[is].like|Ref=SNG_7:6!3|MId=o220070060031|Strong=3509a 6 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=SNG_7:6!3|MId=o220070060031ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 כַּרְמֶ֔ל כַּרְמֶל PROPN _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=Carmel|Ref=SNG_7:6!3|MId=o220070060032|Strong=3760a 8-9 וְדַלַּ֥ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=SNG_7:6!4|MId=o220070060041|Strong=2050b 9 דַלַּ֥ת דַּלָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 nsubj _ Gloss=the.hair|Ref=SNG_7:6!4|MId=o220070060042|Strong=1803 10-11 רֹאשֵׁ֖ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 רֹאשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.head|Ref=SNG_7:6!5|MId=o220070060051|Strong=7218 11 ֵ֖ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=SNG_7:6!5|MId=o220070060052|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 12-14 כָּאַרְגָּמָ֑ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 כָּ כְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=[is].like.(the)|Ref=SNG_7:6!6|MId=o220070060061|Strong=3509a 13 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=purple|Ref=SNG_7:6!6|MId=o220070060061ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 אַרְגָּמָ֑ן אַרְגָּמָן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 conj _ Gloss=wool|Ref=SNG_7:6!6|MId=o220070060062|Strong=0713 15 מֶ֖לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nsubj _ Gloss=[the].king|Ref=SNG_7:6!7|MId=o220070060071|Strong=4428 16 אָס֥וּר אָסַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 7 parataxis _ Gloss=[is].bound|Ref=SNG_7:6!8|MId=o220070060081|Strong=0631|Frame=A1:220070060071;|Type=participle_passive 17-19 בָּרְהָטִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=SNG_7:6!9|MId=o220070060091|Strong=0871a 18 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=SNG_7:6!9|MId=o220070060091ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 רְהָטִֽים רַהַט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 obl _ Gloss=tresses|Ref=SNG_7:6!9|MId=o220070060092|Strong=7298a 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=SNG_7:6!9 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָסוּר *\[is\] bound* | participle passive · qal | | מֶלֶךְ *\[the\] king* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
