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 — Hannah, I — and what happens in the verse to woman, wine, soul, 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 31 chapters of 1 Samuel on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַתַּ֨עַן חַנָּ֤ה וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ לֹ֣א אֲדֹנִ֔י אִשָּׁ֤ה קְשַׁת־ר֙וּחַ֙ אָנֹ֔כִי וְיַ֥יִן וְשֵׁכָ֖ר לֹ֣א שָׁתִ֑יתִי וָאֶשְׁפֹּ֥ךְ אֶת־נַפְשִׁ֖י לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ [And Hannah answered and said: 'No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit; I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I poured out my soul before the LORD.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.15/) ## 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:1SA:14 # text = וַתַּ֨עַן חַנָּ֤ה וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ לֹ֣א אֲדֹנִ֔י אִשָּׁ֤ה קְשַׁת־ר֙וּחַ֙ אָנֹ֔כִי וְיַ֥יִן וְשֵׁכָ֖ר לֹ֣א שָׁתִ֑יתִי וָאֶשְׁפֹּ֥ךְ אֶת־נַפְשִׁ֖י לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ # verse = 1SA.1.15 1-2 וַתַּ֨עַן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_1:15!1|MId=o090010150011|Strong=2050b 2 תַּ֨עַן עָנָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=she.answered|Ref=1SA_1:15!1|MId=o090010150012|Strong=6030|Frame=A0:090010150021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 חַנָּ֤ה חַנָּה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Hannah|Ref=1SA_1:15!2|MId=o090010150021|Strong=2584 4-5 וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_1:15!3|MId=o090010150031|Strong=2050b 5 תֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.said|Ref=1SA_1:15!3|MId=o090010150032|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:090010150021;|Type=wayyiqtol 6 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 5 ccomp _ Gloss=no|Ref=1SA_1:15!4|MId=o090010150041|Strong=3808|Type=negative 7-8 אֲדֹנִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 אֲדֹנ אָדוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 parataxis _ Gloss=my.lord|Ref=1SA_1:15!5|MId=o090010150051|Strong=0113 8 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=1SA_1:15!5|MId=o090010150052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 9 אִשָּׁ֤ה אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 parataxis _ Gloss=[am].a.woman|Ref=1SA_1:15!6|MId=o090010150061|Strong=0802 10 קְשַׁת־ קָשֶׁה ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 amod _ Gloss=hard|Ref=1SA_1:15!7|MId=o090010150071|Strong=7186|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 11 ר֙וּחַ֙ רוּחַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.spirit|Ref=1SA_1:15!8|MId=o090010150081|Strong=7307 12 אָנֹ֔כִי אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 9 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=1SA_1:15!9|MId=o090010150091|Strong=0595|Type=personal 13-14 וְיַ֥יִן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_1:15!10|MId=o090010150101|Strong=2050b 14 יַ֥יִן יַיִן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=wine|Ref=1SA_1:15!10|MId=o090010150102|Strong=3196 15-16 וְשֵׁכָ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_1:15!11|MId=o090010150111|Strong=2050b 16 שֵׁכָ֖ר שֵׁכָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 conj _ Gloss=strong.drink|Ref=1SA_1:15!11|MId=o090010150112|Strong=7941 17 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=1SA_1:15!12|MId=o090010150121|Strong=3808|Type=negative 18 שָׁתִ֑יתִי שָׁתָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 6 conj _ Gloss=I.have.drunk|Ref=1SA_1:15!13|MId=o090010150131|Strong=8354|Frame=A0:090010150021;A1:090010150102;090010150112;|Type=qatal 19-20 וָאֶשְׁפֹּ֥ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_1:15!14|MId=o090010150141|Strong=2050b 20 אֶשְׁפֹּ֥ךְ שָׁפַךְ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.have.poured.out|Ref=1SA_1:15!14|MId=o090010150142|Strong=8210|Frame=A0:090010150021;A1:090010150161;|Type=wayyiqtol 21 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1SA_1:15!15|MId=o090010150151|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 22-23 נַפְשִׁ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 נַפְשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 20 obj _ Gloss=soul|Ref=1SA_1:15!16|MId=o090010150161|Strong=5315 23 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=1SA_1:15!16|MId=o090010150162|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 24-25 לִפְנֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=1SA_1:15!17|MId=o090010150171|Strong=3807a 25 פְנֵ֥י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 20 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=1SA_1:15!17|MId=o090010150172|Strong=6440 26 יְהוָֽה יהוה PROPN _ _ 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=1SA_1:15!18|MId=o090010150181|Strong=3068|SpaceAfter=No 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=1SA_1:15!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תַּעַן *she answered* | wayyiqtol · qal | חַנָּה *Hannah* | | | | | **not** תֹּאמֶר *she said* | wayyiqtol · qal | חַנָּה *Hannah* | | | | | **not** שָׁתִיתִי *I have drunk* | qatal · qal | חַנָּה *Hannah* | יַיִן *wine* + שֵׁכָר *strong drink* | | | | אֶשְׁפֹּךְ *I have poured out* | wayyiqtol · qal | חַנָּה *Hannah* | נַפְשׁ *soul* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
