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 — mother, LORD, soul, I — and what happens in the verse to thee, mother, 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 25 chapters of 2 Kings on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אֵ֣ם הַנַּ֔עַר חַי־יְהוָ֥ה וְחֵֽי־נַפְשְׁךָ֖ אִם־אֶעֶזְבֶ֑ךָּ וַיָּ֖קָם וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ אַחֲרֶֽיהָ׃ [And the mother of the child said: 'As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee.'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:2KI:99 # text = וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אֵ֣ם הַנַּ֔עַר חַי־יְהוָ֥ה וְחֵֽי־נַפְשְׁךָ֖ אִם־אֶעֶזְבֶ֑ךָּ וַיָּ֖קָם וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ אַחֲרֶֽיהָ׃ # verse = 2KI.4.30 1-2 וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_4:30!1|MId=o120040300011|Strong=2050b 2 תֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=she.said|Ref=2KI_4:30!1|MId=o120040300012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:120040300021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֵ֣ם אֵם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.mother|Ref=2KI_4:30!2|MId=o120040300021|Strong=0517 4-5 הַנַּ֔עַר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=2KI_4:30!3|MId=o120040300031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 נַּ֔עַר נַעַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.lad|Ref=2KI_4:30!3|MId=o120040300032|Strong=5288 6 חַי־ חַי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=[by].the.life|Ref=2KI_4:30!4|MId=o120040300041|Strong=2416|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 7 יְהוָ֥ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 6 nsubj _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=2KI_4:30!5|MId=o120040300051|Strong=3068 8-9 וְחֵֽי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and.[by]|Ref=2KI_4:30!6|MId=o120040300061|Strong=2050b 9 חֵֽי־ חַי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=the.life|Ref=2KI_4:30!6|MId=o120040300062|Strong=2416|Type=adjective 10-11 נַפְשְׁךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 נַפְשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 nsubj _ Gloss=your.self|Ref=2KI_4:30!7|MId=o120040300071|Strong=5315 11 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2KI_4:30!7|MId=o120040300072|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 12 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=2KI_4:30!8|MId=o120040300081|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 אֶעֶזְבֶ֑ךָּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 אֶעֶזְב עָזַב VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 6 parataxis _ Gloss=I|Ref=2KI_4:30!9|MId=o120040300091|Strong=5800|Frame=A0:120040300021;A1:120040300092;|Type=yiqtol 14 ֶ֑ךָּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 13 obj _ Gloss=will.leave.you|Ref=2KI_4:30!9|MId=o120040300092|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 15-16 וַיָּ֖קָם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_4:30!10|MId=o120040300101|Strong=2050b 16 יָּ֖קָם קוּם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.arose|Ref=2KI_4:30!10|MId=o120040300102|Strong=6965|Frame=A0:120040270131;|Type=wayyiqtol 17-18 וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_4:30!11|MId=o120040300111|Strong=2050b 18 יֵּ֥לֶךְ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 16 conj _ Gloss=he.went|Ref=2KI_4:30!11|MId=o120040300112|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:120040270131;|Type=wayyiqtol 19-20 אַחֲרֶֽיהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 אַחֲרֶֽי אַחַר ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=2KI_4:30!12|MId=o120040300121|Strong=0310 20 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 obl _ Gloss=her|Ref=2KI_4:30!12|MId=o120040300122|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=2KI_4:30!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תֹּאמֶר *she said* | wayyiqtol · qal | אֵם *the mother* | | | | | אֶעֶזְב *I* | yiqtol · qal | אֵם *the mother* | ֶךָּ *will leave you* | | | | יָּקָם *he arose* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | יֵּלֶךְ *he went* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
