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 — fig tree, fruit, labour, fields — and what happens in the verse to vines, food, flock, fold, 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 3 chapters of Habakkuk on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. כִּֽי־תְאֵנָ֣ה לֹֽא־תִפְרָ֗ח וְאֵ֤ין יְבוּל֙ בַּגְּפָנִ֔ים כִּחֵשׁ֙ מַעֲשֵׂה־זַ֔יִת וּשְׁדֵמ֖וֹת לֹא־עָ֣שָׂה אֹ֑כֶל גָּזַ֤ר מִמִּכְלָה֙ צֹ֔אן וְאֵ֥ין בָּקָ֖ר בָּרְפָתִֽים׃ [For though the fig-tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no food; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/HAB.60/) ## 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:HAB:53 # text = כִּֽי־תְאֵנָ֣ה לֹֽא־תִפְרָ֗ח וְאֵ֤ין יְבוּל֙ בַּגְּפָנִ֔ים כִּחֵשׁ֙ מַעֲשֵׂה־זַ֔יִת וּשְׁדֵמ֖וֹת לֹא־עָ֣שָׂה אֹ֑כֶל גָּזַ֤ר מִמִּכְלָה֙ צֹ֔אן וְאֵ֥ין בָּקָ֖ר בָּרְפָתִֽים׃ # verse = HAB.3.17 1 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=HAB_3:17!1|MId=o350030170011|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 2 תְאֵנָ֣ה תְּאֵנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 nsubj _ Gloss=[the].fig.tree|Ref=HAB_3:17!2|MId=o350030170021|Strong=8384 3 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=HAB_3:17!3|MId=o350030170031|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 4 תִפְרָ֗ח פָּרַח VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.buds|Ref=HAB_3:17!4|MId=o350030170041|Strong=6524|Frame=A0:350030170021;|Type=yiqtol 5-6 וְאֵ֤ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=HAB_3:17!5|MId=o350030170051|Strong=2050b 6 אֵ֤ין אַיִן ADV _ _ 4 conj _ Gloss=there.[is].not|Ref=HAB_3:17!5|MId=o350030170052|Strong=0369|Type=negative 7 יְבוּל֙ יְבוּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 nsubj _ Gloss=produce|Ref=HAB_3:17!6|MId=o350030170061|Strong=2981 8-10 בַּגְּפָנִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=HAB_3:17!7|MId=o350030170071|Strong=0871a 9 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=HAB_3:17!7|MId=o350030170071ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 גְּפָנִ֔ים גֶּפֶן NOUN _ Number=Plur 6 obl _ Gloss=vines|Ref=HAB_3:17!7|MId=o350030170072|Strong=1612 11 כִּחֵשׁ֙ כָּחַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=it.fails|Ref=HAB_3:17!8|MId=o350030170081|Strong=3584|Frame=A0:350030170091;|Type=qatal 12 מַעֲשֵׂה־ מַעֲשֶׂה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=[the].product|Ref=HAB_3:17!9|MId=o350030170091|Strong=4639|SpaceAfter=No 13 זַ֔יִת זַיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].olive.tree|Ref=HAB_3:17!10|MId=o350030170101|Strong=2132 14-15 וּשְׁדֵמ֖וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=HAB_3:17!11|MId=o350030170111|Strong=2050b 15 שְׁדֵמ֖וֹת שְׁדֵמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 17 nsubj _ Gloss=fields|Ref=HAB_3:17!11|MId=o350030170112|Strong=7709 16 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=HAB_3:17!12|MId=o350030170121|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 17 עָ֣שָׂה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=it.produces|Ref=HAB_3:17!13|MId=o350030170131|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:350030170112;A1:350030170141;|Type=qatal 18 אֹ֑כֶל אֹכֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=food|Ref=HAB_3:17!14|MId=o350030170141|Strong=0400 19 גָּזַ֤ר גָּזַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=someone.cuts.off|Ref=HAB_3:17!15|MId=o350030170151|Strong=1504|Frame=A0:350030170171;|Type=qatal 20-21 מִמִּכְלָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=from.[the]|Ref=HAB_3:17!16|MId=o350030170161|Strong=4480 21 מִּכְלָה֙ מִכְלָא NOUN _ Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=fold|Ref=HAB_3:17!16|MId=o350030170162|Strong=4356 22 צֹ֔אן צֹאן NOUN _ Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=[the].flock|Ref=HAB_3:17!17|MId=o350030170171|Strong=6629 23-24 וְאֵ֥ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=HAB_3:17!18|MId=o350030170181|Strong=2050b 24 אֵ֥ין אַיִן ADV _ _ 4 conj _ Gloss=there.[are].not|Ref=HAB_3:17!18|MId=o350030170182|Strong=0369|Type=negative 25 בָּקָ֖ר בָּקָר NOUN _ Number=Sing 24 nsubj _ Gloss=cattle|Ref=HAB_3:17!19|MId=o350030170191|Strong=1241 26-28 בָּרְפָתִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=HAB_3:17!20|MId=o350030170201|Strong=0871a 27 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=HAB_3:17!20|MId=o350030170201ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 רְפָתִֽים רֶפֶת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 obl _ Gloss=stalls|Ref=HAB_3:17!20|MId=o350030170202|Strong=7517 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=HAB_3:17!20 ``` ## 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** תִפְרָח *it buds* | yiqtol · qal | תְאֵנָה *\[the\] fig tree* | | | | | כִּחֵשׁ *it fails* | qatal · piel | מַעֲשֵׂה־ *\[the\] product* | | | | | **not** עָשָׂה *it produces* | qatal · qal | שְׁדֵמוֹת *fields* | אֹכֶל *food* | | | | גָּזַר *someone cuts off* | qatal · qal | צֹאן *\[the\] flock* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
