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 — Elijah, prophets — and what happens in the verse to I, hundred men, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Jonathan 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 22 chapters of 1 Kings on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלִיָּ֙הוּ֙ אֶל־הָעָ֔ם אֲנִ֞י נוֹתַ֧רְתִּי נָבִ֛יא לַיהוָ֖ה לְבַדִּ֑י וּנְבִיאֵ֣י הַבַּ֔עַל אַרְבַּע־מֵא֥וֹת וַחֲמִשִּׁ֖ים אִֽישׁ׃ [Then said Elijah unto the people: 'I, even I only, am left a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1KI.672/) ## 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:1KI:645 # text = וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלִיָּ֙הוּ֙ אֶל־הָעָ֔ם אֲנִ֞י נוֹתַ֧רְתִּי נָבִ֛יא לַיהוָ֖ה לְבַדִּ֑י וּנְבִיאֵ֣י הַבַּ֔עַל אַרְבַּע־מֵא֥וֹת וַחֲמִשִּׁ֖ים אִֽישׁ׃ # verse = 1KI.18.22 1-2 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_18:22!1|MId=o110180220011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=1KI_18:22!1|MId=o110180220012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:110180220021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֵלִיָּ֙הוּ֙ אֵלִיָּהוּ PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Elijah|Ref=1KI_18:22!2|MId=o110180220021|Strong=0452 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1KI_18:22!3|MId=o110180220031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 הָעָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1KI_18:22!4|MId=o110180220041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 עָ֔ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=people|Ref=1KI_18:22!4|MId=o110180220042|Strong=5971 7 אֲנִ֞י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 8 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=1KI_18:22!5|MId=o110180220051|Strong=0589|Type=personal 8 נוֹתַ֧רְתִּי יָתַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 ccomp _ Gloss=I.am.left|Ref=1KI_18:22!6|MId=o110180220061|Strong=3498|Frame=A1:110180220051;|Type=qatal 9 נָבִ֛יא נָבִיא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=a.prophet|Ref=1KI_18:22!7|MId=o110180220071|Strong=5030 10-11 לַיהוָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=1KI_18:22!8|MId=o110180220081|Strong=3807a 11 יהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 9 nmod _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=1KI_18:22!8|MId=o110180220082|Strong=3068 12-14 לְבַדִּ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=I|Ref=1KI_18:22!9|MId=o110180220091|Strong=3807a 13 בַדּ בַּד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=1KI_18:22!9|MId=o110180220092|Strong=0905 14 ִ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=alone|Ref=1KI_18:22!9|MId=o110180220093|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 15-16 וּנְבִיאֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_18:22!10|MId=o110180220101|Strong=2050b 16 נְבִיאֵ֣י נָבִיא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 nsubj _ Gloss=the.prophets|Ref=1KI_18:22!10|MId=o110180220102|Strong=5030 17-18 הַבַּ֔עַל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=1KI_18:22!11|MId=o110180220111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 בַּ֔עַל בַּעַל PROPN _ _ 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Baal|Ref=1KI_18:22!11|MId=o110180220112|Strong=1168 19 אַרְבַּע־ אַרְבַּע NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 23 nummod _ Gloss=[are].four|Ref=1KI_18:22!12|MId=o110180220121|Strong=0702|Type=cardinal_number|SpaceAfter=No 20 מֵא֥וֹת מֵאָה NUM _ Number=Plur 19 flat _ Gloss=hundred(s)|Ref=1KI_18:22!13|MId=o110180220131|Strong=3967|Type=cardinal_number 21-22 וַחֲמִשִּׁ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_18:22!14|MId=o110180220141|Strong=2050b 22 חֲמִשִּׁ֖ים חָמֵשׁ NUM _ Number=Plur 19 conj _ Gloss=fifty|Ref=1KI_18:22!14|MId=o110180220142|Strong=2572|Type=cardinal_number 23 אִֽישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 conj _ Gloss=man|Ref=1KI_18:22!15|MId=o110180220151|Strong=0376|SpaceAfter=No 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=1KI_18:22!15 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | אֵלִיָּהוּ *Elijah* | | | | | נוֹתַרְתִּי *I am left* | qatal · niphal | | אֲנִי *I* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
