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 — scorner — and what happens in the verse to terrible one, nought, obscurity, 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 66 chapters of Isaiah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. כִּֽי־אָפֵ֥ס עָרִ֖יץ וְכָ֣לָה לֵ֑ץ וְנִכְרְת֖וּ כָּל־שֹׁ֥קְדֵי אָֽוֶן׃ [For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner ceaseth, and all they that watch for iniquity are cut off;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.613/) ## 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:ISA:558 # text = כִּֽי־אָפֵ֥ס עָרִ֖יץ וְכָ֣לָה לֵ֑ץ וְנִכְרְת֖וּ כָּל־שֹׁ֥קְדֵי אָֽוֶן׃ # verse = ISA.29.20 1 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ISA_29:20!1|MId=o230290200011|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 2 אָפֵ֥ס אָפֵס VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.come.to.an.end|Ref=ISA_29:20!2|MId=o230290200021|Strong=0656|Frame=A0:230290200031;|Type=qatal 3 עָרִ֖יץ עָרִיץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=[the].ruthless.person|Ref=ISA_29:20!3|MId=o230290200031|Strong=6184|Type=adjective 4-5 וְכָ֣לָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_29:20!4|MId=o230290200041|Strong=2050b 5 כָ֣לָה כָּלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.will.come.to.an.end|Ref=ISA_29:20!4|MId=o230290200042|Strong=3615|Frame=A0:230290200051;|Type=weqatal 6 לֵ֑ץ לֵץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 nsubj _ Gloss=[the].mocker|Ref=ISA_29:20!5|MId=o230290200051|Strong=3887a|Type=adjective 7-8 וְנִכְרְת֖וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_29:20!6|MId=o230290200061|Strong=2050b 8 נִכְרְת֖וּ כָּרַת VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.be.cut.off|Ref=ISA_29:20!6|MId=o230290200062|Strong=3772|Frame=A1:230290200081;|Type=weqatal 9 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 nsubj _ Gloss=all|Ref=ISA_29:20!7|MId=o230290200071|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 10 שֹׁ֥קְדֵי שָׁקַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=[those.who].lie.in.wait|Ref=ISA_29:20!8|MId=o230290200081|Strong=8245|Frame=A1:230290200091;|Type=participle_active 11 אָֽוֶן אָוֶן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.wickedness|Ref=ISA_29:20!9|MId=o230290200091|Strong=0205|SpaceAfter=No 12 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 11 punct _ Ref=ISA_29:20!9 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָפֵס *he will come to an end* | qatal · qal | עָרִיץ *\[the\] ruthless person* | | | | | כָלָה *he will come to an end* | weqatal · qal | לֵץ *\[the\] mocker* | | | | | נִכְרְתוּ *they will be cut off* | weqatal · niphal | | שֹׁקְדֵי *\[those who\] lie in wait* | | | | שֹׁקְדֵי *\[those who\] lie in wait* | participle active · qal | | אָֽוֶן *of wickedness* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
