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 — Tamar, thou — and what happens in the verse to Amnon, me, such thing, Israel, wanton deed, 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 24 chapters of 2 Samuel on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַתֹּ֣אמֶר ל֗וֹ אַל־אָחִי֙ אַל־תְּעַנֵּ֔נִי כִּ֛י לֹא־יֵֽעָשֶׂ֥ה כֵ֖ן בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל אַֽל־תַּעֲשֵׂ֖ה אֶת־הַנְּבָלָ֥ה הַזֹּֽאת׃ [And she answered him: 'Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel; do not thou this wanton deed.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.351/) ## 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:2SA:306 # text = וַתֹּ֣אמֶר ל֗וֹ אַל־אָחִי֙ אַל־תְּעַנֵּ֔נִי כִּ֛י לֹא־יֵֽעָשֶׂ֥ה כֵ֖ן בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל אַֽל־תַּעֲשֵׂ֖ה אֶת־הַנְּבָלָ֥ה הַזֹּֽאת׃ # verse = 2SA.13.12 1-2 וַתֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_13:12!1|MId=o100130120011|Strong=2050b 2 תֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=she.said|Ref=2SA_13:12!1|MId=o100130120012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:100130100111;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 ל֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 ל לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_13:12!2|MId=o100130120021|Strong=3807a 4 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=2SA_13:12!2|MId=o100130120022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 2 ccomp _ Gloss=no|Ref=2SA_13:12!3|MId=o100130120031|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 אָחִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 אָח אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 parataxis _ Gloss=my.brother|Ref=2SA_13:12!4|MId=o100130120041|Strong=0251 7 ִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=2SA_13:12!4|MId=o100130120042|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 8 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 9 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=2SA_13:12!5|MId=o100130120051|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 תְּעַנֵּ֔נִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 תְּעַנּ עָנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 5 parataxis _ Gloss=humble|Ref=2SA_13:12!6|MId=o100130120061|Strong=6031|Frame=A0:100130120041;A1:100130120062;|Type=jussive 10 ֵ֔נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 9 obj _ Gloss=me|Ref=2SA_13:12!6|MId=o100130120062|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 11 כִּ֛י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=2SA_13:12!7|MId=o100130120071|Strong=3588 12 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 13 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=2SA_13:12!8|MId=o100130120081|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 13 יֵֽעָשֶׂ֥ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 advcl _ Gloss=it.will.be.done|Ref=2SA_13:12!9|MId=o100130120091|Strong=6213|Type=yiqtol 14 כֵ֖ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 13 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=2SA_13:12!10|MId=o100130120101|Strong=3651 15-16 בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2SA_13:12!11|MId=o100130120111|Strong=0871a 16 יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 13 obl _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=2SA_13:12!11|MId=o100130120112|Strong=3478 17 אַֽל־ אַל ADV _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=2SA_13:12!12|MId=o100130120121|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 18 תַּעֲשֵׂ֖ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 5 parataxis _ Gloss=do|Ref=2SA_13:12!13|MId=o100130120131|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:100130120041;A1:100130120152;|Type=jussive 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2SA_13:12!14|MId=o100130120141|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 הַנְּבָלָ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the.disgraceful|Ref=2SA_13:12!15|MId=o100130120151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 נְּבָלָ֥ה נְבָלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=folly|Ref=2SA_13:12!15|MId=o100130120152|Strong=5039 22-23 הַזֹּֽאת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=2SA_13:12!16|MId=o100130120161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 זֹּֽאת זֹאת DET _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 21 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=2SA_13:12!16|MId=o100130120162|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=2SA_13:12!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** תֹּאמֶר *she said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | **not** תְּעַנּ *humble* | jussive · piel | אָח *my brother* | ֵנִי *me* | | | | **not** תַּעֲשֵׂה *do* | jussive · qal | אָח *my brother* | נְּבָלָה *folly* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
