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 — Eli, man, crying, tumult — and what happens in the verse to noise, haste, Eli, 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. וַיִּשְׁמַ֤ע עֵלִי֙ אֶת־ק֣וֹל הַצְּעָקָ֔ה וַיֹּ֕אמֶר מֶ֛ה ק֥וֹל הֶהָמ֖וֹן הַזֶּ֑ה וְהָאִ֣ישׁ מִהַ֔ר וַיָּבֹ֖א וַיַּגֵּ֥ד לְעֵלִֽי׃ [And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said: 'What meaneth the noise of this tumult?' And the man made haste, and came and told Eli.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.111/) ## 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:98 # text = וַיִּשְׁמַ֤ע עֵלִי֙ אֶת־ק֣וֹל הַצְּעָקָ֔ה וַיֹּ֕אמֶר מֶ֛ה ק֥וֹל הֶהָמ֖וֹן הַזֶּ֑ה וְהָאִ֣ישׁ מִהַ֔ר וַיָּבֹ֖א וַיַּגֵּ֥ד לְעֵלִֽי׃ # verse = 1SA.4.14 1-2 וַיִּשְׁמַ֤ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_4:14!1|MId=o090040140011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּשְׁמַ֤ע שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.heard|Ref=1SA_4:14!1|MId=o090040140012|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:090040140021;A1:090040140041;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 עֵלִי֙ עֵלִי PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Eli|Ref=1SA_4:14!2|MId=o090040140021|Strong=5941 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1SA_4:14!3|MId=o090040140031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5 ק֣וֹל קוֹל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=the.sound|Ref=1SA_4:14!4|MId=o090040140041|Strong=6963 6-7 הַצְּעָקָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=1SA_4:14!5|MId=o090040140051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 צְּעָקָ֔ה צְעָקָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.outcry|Ref=1SA_4:14!5|MId=o090040140052|Strong=6818 8-9 וַיֹּ֕אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_4:14!6|MId=o090040140061|Strong=2050b 9 יֹּ֕אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=1SA_4:14!6|MId=o090040140062|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:090040140021;|Type=wayyiqtol 10 מֶ֛ה מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 9 ccomp _ Gloss=what?|Ref=1SA_4:14!7|MId=o090040140071|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative 11 ק֥וֹל קוֹל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=[is].the.sound|Ref=1SA_4:14!8|MId=o090040140081|Strong=6963 12-13 הֶהָמ֖וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הֶ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=1SA_4:14!9|MId=o090040140091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 הָמ֖וֹן הָמוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.uproar|Ref=1SA_4:14!9|MId=o090040140092|Strong=1995 14-15 הַזֶּ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=1SA_4:14!10|MId=o090040140101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 זֶּ֑ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 13 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=1SA_4:14!10|MId=o090040140102|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 16-18 וְהָאִ֣ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_4:14!11|MId=o090040140111|Strong=2050b 17 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_4:14!11|MId=o090040140112|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=man|Ref=1SA_4:14!11|MId=o090040140113|Strong=0376 19 מִהַ֔ר מָהַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 10 conj _ Gloss=he.hurried|Ref=1SA_4:14!12|MId=o090040140121|Strong=4116|Frame=A0:090040140113;|Type=qatal 20-21 וַיָּבֹ֖א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_4:14!13|MId=o090040140131|Strong=2050b 21 יָּבֹ֖א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.came|Ref=1SA_4:14!13|MId=o090040140132|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:090040140113;|Type=wayyiqtol 22-23 וַיַּגֵּ֥ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_4:14!14|MId=o090040140141|Strong=2050b 23 יַּגֵּ֥ד נָגַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.told|Ref=1SA_4:14!14|MId=o090040140142|Strong=5046|Frame=A0:090040140113;|Type=wayyiqtol 24-25 לְעֵלִֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_4:14!15|MId=o090040140151|Strong=3807a 25 עֵלִֽי עֵלִי PROPN _ _ 23 obl _ Gloss=Eli|Ref=1SA_4:14!15|MId=o090040140152|Strong=5941 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=1SA_4:14!15 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּשְׁמַע *he heard* | wayyiqtol · qal | עֵלִי *Eli* | קוֹל *the sound* | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | עֵלִי *Eli* | | | | | מִהַר *he hurried* | qatal · piel | אִישׁ *man* | | | | | יָּבֹא *he came* | wayyiqtol · qal | אִישׁ *man* | | | | | יַּגֵּד *he told* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | אִישׁ *man* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
