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 — Saul, Samuel, kingdom — and what happens in the verse to us, 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. וַיֹּ֤אמֶר שָׁאוּל֙ אֶל־דּוֹד֔וֹ הַגֵּ֤ד הִגִּיד֙ לָ֔נוּ כִּ֥י נִמְצְא֖וּ הָאֲתֹנ֑וֹת וְאֶת־דְּבַ֤ר הַמְּלוּכָה֙ לֹֽא־הִגִּ֣יד ל֔וֹ אֲשֶׁ֖ר אָמַ֥ר שְׁמוּאֵֽל׃פ [And Saul said unto his uncle: 'He told us plainly that the asses were found.'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:1SA:221 # text = וַיֹּ֤אמֶר שָׁאוּל֙ אֶל־דּוֹד֔וֹ הַגֵּ֤ד הִגִּיד֙ לָ֔נוּ כִּ֥י נִמְצְא֖וּ הָאֲתֹנ֑וֹת וְאֶת־דְּבַ֤ר הַמְּלוּכָה֙ לֹֽא־הִגִּ֣יד ל֔וֹ אֲשֶׁ֖ר אָמַ֥ר שְׁמוּאֵֽל׃פ # verse = 1SA.10.16 1-2 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_10:16!1|MId=o090100160011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=1SA_10:16!1|MId=o090100160012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:090100160021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 שָׁאוּל֙ שָׁאוּל PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Saul|Ref=1SA_10:16!2|MId=o090100160021|Strong=7586 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_10:16!3|MId=o090100160031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 דּוֹד֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 דּוֹד דּוֹד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=uncle|Ref=1SA_10:16!4|MId=o090100160041|Strong=1730 6 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=1SA_10:16!4|MId=o090100160042|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 7 הַגֵּ֤ד נָגַד VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 8 obl:npmod _ Gloss=indeed.(tell)|Ref=1SA_10:16!5|MId=o090100160051|Strong=5046|Type=infinitive_absolute 8 הִגִּיד֙ נָגַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=he.told|Ref=1SA_10:16!6|MId=o090100160061|Strong=5046|Frame=AA:090100150101;A0:090100160091;|Type=qatal 9-10 לָ֔נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 ל לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_10:16!7|MId=o090100160071|Strong=3807a 10 ָ֔נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 8 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=1SA_10:16!7|MId=o090100160072|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 11 כִּ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=1SA_10:16!8|MId=o090100160081|Strong=3588 12 נִמְצְא֖וּ מָצָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 8 ccomp _ Gloss=they.had.been.found|Ref=1SA_10:16!9|MId=o090100160091|Strong=4672|Frame=A1:090100160102;|Type=qatal 13-14 הָאֲתֹנ֑וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_10:16!10|MId=o090100160101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 אֲתֹנ֑וֹת אָתוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 12 nsubj _ Gloss=she-asses|Ref=1SA_10:16!10|MId=o090100160102|Strong=0860 15-16 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_10:16!11|MId=o090100160111|Strong=2050b 16 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1SA_10:16!11|MId=o090100160112|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 17 דְּבַ֤ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 obj _ Gloss=the.word|Ref=1SA_10:16!12|MId=o090100160121|Strong=1697 18-19 הַמְּלוּכָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=1SA_10:16!13|MId=o090100160131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 מְּלוּכָה֙ מְלוּכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.kingship|Ref=1SA_10:16!13|MId=o090100160132|Strong=4410 20 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 21 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=1SA_10:16!14|MId=o090100160141|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 21 הִגִּ֣יד נָגַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 8 conj _ Gloss=he.told|Ref=1SA_10:16!15|MId=o090100160151|Strong=5046|Frame=AA:090100160021;A0:090100160121;|Type=qatal 22-23 ל֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 ל לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_10:16!16|MId=o090100160161|Strong=3807a 23 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=1SA_10:16!16|MId=o090100160162|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 24 אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=1SA_10:16!17|MId=o090100160171|Strong=0834|Type=relative 25 אָמַ֥ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 21 parataxis _ Gloss=he.had.said|Ref=1SA_10:16!18|MId=o090100160181|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:090100160191;|Type=qatal 26 שְׁמוּאֵֽל שְׁמוּאֵל PROPN _ _ 25 nsubj _ Gloss=Samuel|Ref=1SA_10:16!19|MId=o090100160191|Strong=8050|SpaceAfter=No 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=1SA_10:16!19|SpaceAfter=No 28 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=1SA_10:16!19 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | שָׁאוּל *Saul* | | | | | הִגִּיד *he told* | qatal · hiphil | נִמְצְאוּ *they had been found* | | | | | נִמְצְאוּ *they had been found* | qatal · niphal | | אֲתֹנוֹת *she-asses* | | | | **not** הִגִּיד *he told* | qatal · hiphil | דְּבַר *the word* | | | שָׁאוּל *Saul* | | אָמַר *he had said* | qatal · qal | שְׁמוּאֵֽל *Samuel* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
