# Daniel 10:4 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Tigris,

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** I, great river · **What happens:** be · **To what, where:** Tigris

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Daniel 10:4 · JPS 1917 in the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, from Mova's open Bible corpus. The page gives the sentence's syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, parsed by Mova and checked by a teacher model — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (I, great river), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it. The original of the verse links back to its own tree and to the Targum.

| # | verb | tense, mood | who | what, whom | to whom | where | when | other | roles by |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | **is** | past | I |  |  |  |  | by the side; of the great river | tree rules |
| 2 | **is a** | present | the great river | Tigris |  |  |  |  | tree rules |

<!-- .note -->
One row per clause the reader finds. «not said here»: a role filled from the clause above. «roles by»: a VerbNet class and frame when one fits the verb, else the reader's rules on the tree.

**The tree and the speech act** come from Mova's cycle: the small model's draft, read by a large model as teacher, passed by Mova's gates (Elamur Cosmic License). **The frames** are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (`prag`) when this page is built, the chapter read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence of the chapter.
