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 — multitude, chaff — and what happens in the verse to instant, 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. וְהָיָ֛ה כְּאָבָ֥ק דַּ֖ק הֲמ֣וֹן זָרָ֑יִךְ וּכְמֹ֤ץ עֹבֵר֙ הֲמ֣וֹן עָֽרִיצִ֔ים וְהָיָ֖ה לְפֶ֥תַע פִּתְאֹֽם׃ [But the multitude of thy foes shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passeth away; yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly —](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.596/) ## 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:543 # text = וְהָיָ֛ה כְּאָבָ֥ק דַּ֖ק הֲמ֣וֹן זָרָ֑יִךְ וּכְמֹ֤ץ עֹבֵר֙ הֲמ֣וֹן עָֽרִיצִ֔ים וְהָיָ֖ה לְפֶ֥תַע פִּתְאֹֽם׃ # verse = ISA.29.5 1-2 וְהָיָ֛ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_29:5!1|MId=o230290050011|Strong=2050b 2 הָיָ֛ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=ISA_29:5!1|MId=o230290050012|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:230290050041;|Type=weqatal 3-4 כְּאָבָ֥ק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=ISA_29:5!2|MId=o230290050021|Strong=3509a 4 אָבָ֥ק אָבָק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=dust|Ref=ISA_29:5!2|MId=o230290050022|Strong=0080 5 דַּ֖ק דַּק ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 amod _ Gloss=fine|Ref=ISA_29:5!3|MId=o230290050031|Strong=1851|Type=adjective 6 הֲמ֣וֹן הָמוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 nsubj _ Gloss=the.multitude|Ref=ISA_29:5!4|MId=o230290050041|Strong=1995 7-8 זָרָ֑יִךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 זָרָ֑י זָר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of|Ref=ISA_29:5!5|MId=o230290050051|Strong=2114b|Type=adjective 8 ִךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your.strangers|Ref=ISA_29:5!5|MId=o230290050052|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 9-11 וּכְמֹ֤ץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_29:5!6|MId=o230290050061|Strong=2050b 10 כְ כְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=[will|Ref=ISA_29:5!6|MId=o230290050062|Strong=3509a 11 מֹ֤ץ מֹץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=be].like.chaff|Ref=ISA_29:5!6|MId=o230290050063|Strong=4671 12 עֹבֵר֙ עָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 11 nmod _ Gloss=[which].passes.away|Ref=ISA_29:5!7|MId=o230290050071|Strong=5674|Frame=A0:230290050063;|Type=participle_active 13 הֲמ֣וֹן הָמוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=the.multitude|Ref=ISA_29:5!8|MId=o230290050081|Strong=1995 14 עָֽרִיצִ֔ים עָרִיץ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.ruthless.[people]|Ref=ISA_29:5!9|MId=o230290050091|Strong=6184|Type=adjective 15-16 וְהָיָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_29:5!10|MId=o230290050101|Strong=2050b 16 הָיָ֖ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 18 cop _ Gloss=it.will.happen|Ref=ISA_29:5!10|MId=o230290050102|Strong=1961|Type=weqatal 17-18 לְפֶ֥תַע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_29:5!11|MId=o230290050111|Strong=3807a 18 פֶ֥תַע פֶּתַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=suddenness|Ref=ISA_29:5!11|MId=o230290050112|Strong=6621 19 פִּתְאֹֽם פִּתְאֹם ADV _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=suddenly|Ref=ISA_29:5!12|MId=o230290050121|Strong=6597|SpaceAfter=No 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=ISA_29:5!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הָיָה *it will be* | weqatal · qal | הֲמוֹן *the multitude* | | | | | עֹבֵר *\[which\] passes away* | participle active · qal | מֹץ *be\] like chaff* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
