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 — uncle, ye, Saul, we — and what happens in the verse to asses, Samuel, 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. וַיֹּאמֶר֩ דּ֨וֹד שָׁא֥וּל אֵלָ֛יו וְאֶֽל־נַעֲר֖וֹ אָ֣ן הֲלַכְתֶּ֑ם וַיֹּ֕אמֶר לְבַקֵּשׁ֙ אֶת־הָ֣אֲתֹנ֔וֹת וַנִּרְאֶ֣ה כִי־אַ֔יִן וַנָּב֖וֹא אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵֽל׃ [And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant: 'Whither went ye?'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:1SA:219 # text = וַיֹּאמֶר֩ דּ֨וֹד שָׁא֥וּל אֵלָ֛יו וְאֶֽל־נַעֲר֖וֹ אָ֣ן הֲלַכְתֶּ֑ם וַיֹּ֕אמֶר לְבַקֵּשׁ֙ אֶת־הָ֣אֲתֹנ֔וֹת וַנִּרְאֶ֣ה כִי־אַ֔יִן וַנָּב֖וֹא אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵֽל׃ # verse = 1SA.10.14 1-2 וַיֹּאמֶר֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_10:14!1|MId=o090100140011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּאמֶר֩ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=1SA_10:14!1|MId=o090100140012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:090100140021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 דּ֨וֹד דּוֹד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.uncle|Ref=1SA_10:14!2|MId=o090100140021|Strong=1730 4 שָׁא֥וּל שָׁאוּל PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Saul|Ref=1SA_10:14!3|MId=o090100140031|Strong=7586 5-6 אֵלָ֛יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 אֵלָ֛י אֶל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_10:14!4|MId=o090100140041|Strong=0413 6 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=1SA_10:14!4|MId=o090100140042|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 7-8 וְאֶֽל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_10:14!5|MId=o090100140051|Strong=2050b 8 אֶֽל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_10:14!5|MId=o090100140052|Strong=0413 9-10 נַעֲר֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 נַעֲר נַעַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=servant|Ref=1SA_10:14!6|MId=o090100140061|Strong=5288 10 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=1SA_10:14!6|MId=o090100140062|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 11 אָ֣ן אָן PRON _ PronType=Int 12 advmod _ Gloss=where?|Ref=1SA_10:14!7|MId=o090100140071|Strong=0575|Type=interrogative 12 הֲלַכְתֶּ֑ם הָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=did.you.go|Ref=1SA_10:14!8|MId=o090100140081|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:090100140031;090100140061;|Type=qatal 13-14 וַיֹּ֕אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_10:14!9|MId=o090100140091|Strong=2050b 14 יֹּ֕אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=1SA_10:14!9|MId=o090100140092|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:090100140031;|Type=wayyiqtol 15-16 לְבַקֵּשׁ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_10:14!10|MId=o090100140101|Strong=3807a 16 בַקֵּשׁ֙ בָּקַשׁ VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 14 ccomp _ Gloss=seek|Ref=1SA_10:14!10|MId=o090100140102|Strong=1245|Frame=A0:090100140031;090100140061;A1:090100140122;|Type=infinitive_construct 17 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1SA_10:14!11|MId=o090100140111|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 18-19 הָ֣אֲתֹנ֔וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הָ֣ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_10:14!12|MId=o090100140121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 אֲתֹנ֔וֹת אָתוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 16 obj _ Gloss=she-asses|Ref=1SA_10:14!12|MId=o090100140122|Strong=0860 20-21 וַנִּרְאֶ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_10:14!13|MId=o090100140131|Strong=2050b 21 נִּרְאֶ֣ה רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=we.saw|Ref=1SA_10:14!13|MId=o090100140132|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:090100140031;090100140061;A1:090100140151;|Type=wayyiqtol 22 כִי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 23 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=1SA_10:14!14|MId=o090100140141|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 23 אַ֔יִן אַיִן ADV _ _ 21 ccomp _ Gloss=there.not|Ref=1SA_10:14!15|MId=o090100140151|Strong=0369|Type=negative 24-25 וַנָּב֖וֹא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_10:14!16|MId=o090100140161|Strong=2050b 25 נָּב֖וֹא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=we.went|Ref=1SA_10:14!16|MId=o090100140162|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:090100140031;090100140061;|Type=wayyiqtol 26 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_10:14!17|MId=o090100140171|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 27 שְׁמוּאֵֽל שְׁמוּאֵל PROPN _ _ 25 obl _ Gloss=Samuel|Ref=1SA_10:14!18|MId=o090100140181|Strong=8050|SpaceAfter=No 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=1SA_10:14!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: wh-question - act: ask - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | דּוֹד *the uncle* | | | | | הֲלַכְתֶּם *did you go* | qatal · qal | שָׁאוּל *of Saul* + נַעֲר *servant* | | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | שָׁאוּל *of Saul* | | | | | בַקֵּשׁ *seek* | infinitive construct · piel | שָׁאוּל *of Saul* + נַעֲר *servant* | אֲתֹנוֹת *she-asses* | | | | **not** נִּרְאֶה *we saw* | wayyiqtol · qal | שָׁאוּל *of Saul* + נַעֲר *servant* | אַיִן *there not* | | | | נָּבוֹא *we went* | wayyiqtol · qal | שָׁאוּל *of Saul* + נַעֲר *servant* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
