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 — people, two, Saul, we — and what happens in the verse to 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 31 chapters of 1 Samuel on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיֹּ֤אמֶר הָעָם֙ אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל מִ֣י הָאֹמֵ֔ר שָׁא֖וּל יִמְלֹ֣ךְ עָלֵ֑ינוּ תְּנ֥וּ הָאֲנָשִׁ֖ים וּנְמִיתֵֽם׃ [And the people said unto Samuel: 'Who is he that said: Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.271/) ## 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:244 # text = וַיֹּ֤אמֶר הָעָם֙ אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל מִ֣י הָאֹמֵ֔ר שָׁא֖וּל יִמְלֹ֣ךְ עָלֵ֑ינוּ תְּנ֥וּ הָאֲנָשִׁ֖ים וּנְמִיתֵֽם׃ # verse = 1SA.11.12 1-2 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_11:12!1|MId=o090110120011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.said|Ref=1SA_11:12!1|MId=o090110120012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:090110120022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הָעָם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_11:12!2|MId=o090110120021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 עָם֙ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=people|Ref=1SA_11:12!2|MId=o090110120022|Strong=5971 5 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_11:12!3|MId=o090110120031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 6 שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל שְׁמוּאֵל PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Samuel|Ref=1SA_11:12!4|MId=o090110120041|Strong=8050 7 מִ֣י מִי PRON _ PronType=Int 2 ccomp _ Gloss=who?|Ref=1SA_11:12!5|MId=o090110120051|Strong=4310|Type=interrogative 8-9 הָאֹמֵ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הָ הַ SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=[is].the|Ref=1SA_11:12!6|MId=o090110120061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 אֹמֵ֔ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=[one.who].said|Ref=1SA_11:12!6|MId=o090110120062|Strong=0559|Frame=A1:090110120081;|Type=participle_active 10 שָׁא֖וּל שָׁאוּל PROPN _ _ 11 nsubj _ Gloss=Saul|Ref=1SA_11:12!7|MId=o090110120071|Strong=7586 11 יִמְלֹ֣ךְ מָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 9 ccomp _ Gloss=will.he.reign?|Ref=1SA_11:12!8|MId=o090110120081|Strong=4427|Frame=A0:090110120071;|Type=yiqtol 12-13 עָלֵ֑ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 עָלֵ֑י עַל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=1SA_11:12!9|MId=o090110120091|Strong=5921 13 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 11 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=1SA_11:12!9|MId=o090110120092|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 14 תְּנ֥וּ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 7 parataxis _ Gloss=deliver.up|Ref=1SA_11:12!10|MId=o090110120101|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:090110120041;090110110041;A1:090110120112;|Type=imperative 15-16 הָאֲנָשִׁ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_11:12!11|MId=o090110120111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 אֲנָשִׁ֖ים אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 obj _ Gloss=men|Ref=1SA_11:12!11|MId=o090110120112|Strong=0376 17-19 וּנְמִיתֵֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=1SA_11:12!12|MId=o090110120121|Strong=2050b 18 נְמִית מוּת VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=1 7 conj _ Gloss=that|Ref=1SA_11:12!12|MId=o090110120122|Strong=4191|Frame=AA:090110120022;A0:090110120123;|Type=yiqtol 19 ֵֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 obj _ Gloss=we.may.put.them.to.death|Ref=1SA_11:12!12|MId=o090110120123|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=1SA_11:12!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: wh-question - act: ask - 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 *it said* | wayyiqtol · qal | עָם *people* | | | | | אֹמֵר *\[one who\] said* | participle active · qal | | יִמְלֹךְ *will he reign?* | | | | יִמְלֹךְ *will he reign?* | yiqtol · qal | שָׁאוּל *Saul* | | | | | תְּנוּ *deliver up* | imperative · qal | שְׁמוּאֵל *Samuel* | אֲנָשִׁים *men* | | | | נְמִית *that* | yiqtol · hiphil | ֵֽם *we may put them to death* | | | עָם *people* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
