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 — sons, we, place — and what happens in the verse to thee, 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. וַיֹּאמְר֥וּ בְנֵֽי־הַנְּבִיאִ֖ים אֶל־אֱלִישָׁ֑ע הִנֵּֽה־נָ֣א הַמָּק֗וֹם אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲנַ֜חְנוּ יֹשְׁבִ֥ים שָׁ֛ם לְפָנֶ֖יךָ צַ֥ר מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ [And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha: 'Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too strait for us.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.161/) ## 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:2KI:141 # text = וַיֹּאמְר֥וּ בְנֵֽי־הַנְּבִיאִ֖ים אֶל־אֱלִישָׁ֑ע הִנֵּֽה־נָ֣א הַמָּק֗וֹם אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲנַ֜חְנוּ יֹשְׁבִ֥ים שָׁ֛ם לְפָנֶ֖יךָ צַ֥ר מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ # verse = 2KI.6.1 1-2 וַיֹּאמְר֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_6:1!1|MId=o120060010011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּאמְר֥וּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=2KI_6:1!1|MId=o120060010012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:120060010021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 בְנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=2KI_6:1!2|MId=o120060010021|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 הַנְּבִיאִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=2KI_6:1!3|MId=o120060010031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 נְּבִיאִ֖ים נָבִיא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.prophets|Ref=2KI_6:1!3|MId=o120060010032|Strong=5030 6 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_6:1!4|MId=o120060010041|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 7 אֱלִישָׁ֑ע אֱלִישָׁע PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Elisha|Ref=2KI_6:1!5|MId=o120060010051|Strong=0477 8 הִנֵּֽה־ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 19 parataxis _ Gloss=here!|Ref=2KI_6:1!6|MId=o120060010061|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative|SpaceAfter=No 9 נָ֣א נָא INTJ _ _ 8 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=2KI_6:1!7|MId=o120060010071|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 10-11 הַמָּק֗וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2KI_6:1!8|MId=o120060010081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 מָּק֗וֹם מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=place|Ref=2KI_6:1!8|MId=o120060010082|Strong=4725 12 אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=where|Ref=2KI_6:1!9|MId=o120060010091|Strong=0834|Type=relative 13 אֲנַ֜חְנוּ אֲנַחְנוּ PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 14 nsubj _ Gloss=we|Ref=2KI_6:1!10|MId=o120060010101|Strong=0587|Type=personal 14 יֹשְׁבִ֥ים יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 11 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[are].dwelling|Ref=2KI_6:1!11|MId=o120060010111|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:120060010101;|Type=participle_active 15 שָׁ֛ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=2KI_6:1!12|MId=o120060010121|Strong=8033 16-18 לְפָנֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=2KI_6:1!13|MId=o120060010131|Strong=3807a 17 פָנֶ֖י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 14 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=2KI_6:1!13|MId=o120060010132|Strong=6440 18 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=you|Ref=2KI_6:1!13|MId=o120060010133|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 19 צַ֥ר צַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=it.is.[too].cramped|Ref=2KI_6:1!14|MId=o120060010141|Strong=6887|Frame=A0:120060010082;|Type=adjective 20-21 מִמֶּֽנּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 מִמּ מִן ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=2KI_6:1!15|MId=o120060010151|Strong=4480 21 ֶֽנּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=2KI_6:1!15|MId=o120060010152|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=2KI_6:1!15 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמְרוּ *they said* | wayyiqtol · qal | בְנֵֽי־ *the sons* | | | | | יֹשְׁבִים *\[are\] dwelling* | participle active · qal | אֲנַחְנוּ *we* | | | | | צַר *it is \[too\] cramped* | adjective | מָּקוֹם *place* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
