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 — men, we — and what happens in the verse to we, thing, fields, 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. וְהָ֣אֲנָשִׁ֔ים טֹבִ֥ים לָ֖נוּ מְאֹ֑ד וְלֹ֤א הָכְלַ֙מְנוּ֙ וְלֹֽא־פָקַ֣דְנוּ מְא֔וּמָה כָּל־יְמֵי֙ הִתְהַלַּ֣כְנוּ אִתָּ֔ם בִּֽהְיוֹתֵ֖נוּ בַּשָּׂדֶֽה׃ [But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.736/) ## 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:664 # text = וְהָ֣אֲנָשִׁ֔ים טֹבִ֥ים לָ֖נוּ מְאֹ֑ד וְלֹ֤א הָכְלַ֙מְנוּ֙ וְלֹֽא־פָקַ֣דְנוּ מְא֔וּמָה כָּל־יְמֵי֙ הִתְהַלַּ֣כְנוּ אִתָּ֔ם בִּֽהְיוֹתֵ֖נוּ בַּשָּׂדֶֽה׃ # verse = 1SA.25.15 1-3 וְהָ֣אֲנָשִׁ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_25:15!1|MId=o090250150011|Strong=2050b 2 הָ֣ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 3 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_25:15!1|MId=o090250150012|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 3 אֲנָשִׁ֔ים אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 nsubj _ Gloss=men|Ref=1SA_25:15!1|MId=o090250150013|Strong=0376 4 טֹבִ֥ים טוֹב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=[were].good|Ref=1SA_25:15!2|MId=o090250150021|Strong=2896|Type=adjective 5-6 לָ֖נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 ל לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_25:15!3|MId=o090250150031|Strong=3807a 6 ָ֖נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 nmod _ Gloss=us|Ref=1SA_25:15!3|MId=o090250150032|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 7 מְאֹ֑ד מְאֹד ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=very|Ref=1SA_25:15!4|MId=o090250150041|Strong=3966 8-9 וְלֹ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_25:15!5|MId=o090250150051|Strong=2050b 9 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=1SA_25:15!5|MId=o090250150052|Strong=3808|Type=negative 10 הָכְלַ֙מְנוּ֙ כָּלַם VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HOPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 4 conj _ Gloss=we.were.humiliated|Ref=1SA_25:15!6|MId=o090250150061|Strong=3637|Frame=A1:090250140051;090250140073;|Type=qatal 11-12 וְלֹֽא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_25:15!7|MId=o090250150071|Strong=2050b 12 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 13 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=1SA_25:15!7|MId=o090250150072|Strong=3808|Type=negative 13 פָקַ֣דְנוּ פָּקַד VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 4 conj _ Gloss=we.missed|Ref=1SA_25:15!8|MId=o090250150081|Strong=6485|Frame=A0:090250140051;090250140073;A1:090250150091;|Type=qatal 14 מְא֔וּמָה מְאוּמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 obj _ Gloss=anything|Ref=1SA_25:15!9|MId=o090250150091|Strong=3972 15 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=1SA_25:15!10|MId=o090250150101|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 16 יְמֵי֙ יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=[the].days|Ref=1SA_25:15!11|MId=o090250150111|Strong=3117 17 הִתְהַלַּ֣כְנוּ הָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Plur|Person=1 16 acl _ Gloss=(of).[which].we.went.about|Ref=1SA_25:15!12|MId=o090250150121|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:090250140051;090250140073;|Type=qatal 18-19 אִתָּ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 אִתּ אֵת ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=1SA_25:15!13|MId=o090250150131|Strong=0854 19 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=1SA_25:15!13|MId=o090250150132|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 20-22 בִּֽהְיוֹתֵ֖נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בִּֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=1SA_25:15!14|MId=o090250150141|Strong=0871a 21 הְיוֹת הָיָה AUX _ HebBinyan=QAL 25 cop _ Gloss=were|Ref=1SA_25:15!14|MId=o090250150142|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:090250150143;|Type=infinitive_construct 22 ֵ֖נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 25 nsubj _ Gloss=we|Ref=1SA_25:15!14|MId=o090250150143|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 23-25 בַּשָּׂדֶֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=1SA_25:15!15|MId=o090250150151|Strong=0871a 24 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_25:15!15|MId=o090250150151ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 שָּׂדֶֽה שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=field|Ref=1SA_25:15!15|MId=o090250150152|Strong=7704 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=1SA_25:15!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** הָכְלַמְנוּ *we were humiliated* | qatal · hophal | | | | | | **not** פָקַדְנוּ *we missed* | qatal · qal | | מְאוּמָה *anything* | | | | הִתְהַלַּכְנוּ *(of) \[which\] we went about* | qatal · hithpael | | | | | | הְיוֹת *were* | infinitive construct · qal | ֵנוּ *we* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
