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 — you, none, I — and what happens in the verse to this, pleasures, heart, loss, 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. וְעַתָּ֞ה שִׁמְעִי־זֹ֤את עֲדִינָה֙ הַיּוֹשֶׁ֣בֶת לָבֶ֔טַח הָאֹֽמְרָה֙ בִּלְבָ֔בָהּ אֲנִ֖י וְאַפְסִ֣י ע֑וֹד לֹ֤א אֵשֵׁב֙ אַלְמָנָ֔ה וְלֹ֥א אֵדַ֖ע שְׁכֽוֹל׃ [Now therefore hear this, thou that art given to pleasures, that sittest securely, that sayest in thy heart: 'I am, and there is none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children';](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1050/) ## 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:952 # text = וְעַתָּ֞ה שִׁמְעִי־זֹ֤את עֲדִינָה֙ הַיּוֹשֶׁ֣בֶת לָבֶ֔טַח הָאֹֽמְרָה֙ בִּלְבָ֔בָהּ אֲנִ֖י וְאַפְסִ֣י ע֑וֹד לֹ֤א אֵשֵׁב֙ אַלְמָנָ֔ה וְלֹ֥א אֵדַ֖ע שְׁכֽוֹל׃ # verse = ISA.47.8 1-2 וְעַתָּ֞ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_47:8!1|MId=o230470080011|Strong=2050b 2 עַתָּ֞ה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=therefore|Ref=ISA_47:8!1|MId=o230470080012|Strong=6258 3 שִׁמְעִי־ שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 parataxis _ Gloss=listen.to|Ref=ISA_47:8!2|MId=o230470080021|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:230470080041;A1:230470080031;|Type=imperative|SpaceAfter=No 4 זֹ֤את זֹאת PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 3 obj _ Gloss=this|Ref=ISA_47:8!3|MId=o230470080031|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 5 עֲדִינָה֙ עָדִין ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 parataxis _ Gloss=O.voluptuous.[woman]|Ref=ISA_47:8!4|MId=o230470080041|Strong=5719|Type=adjective 6-7 הַיּוֹשֶׁ֣בֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 7 mark _ Gloss=[who]|Ref=ISA_47:8!5|MId=o230470080051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 יּוֹשֶׁ֣בֶת יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 5 appos _ Gloss=dwells|Ref=ISA_47:8!5|MId=o230470080052|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:230470080041;|Type=participle_active 8-9 לָבֶ֔טַח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_47:8!6|MId=o230470080061|Strong=3807a 9 בֶ֔טַח בֶּטַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=security|Ref=ISA_47:8!6|MId=o230470080062|Strong=0983 10-11 הָאֹֽמְרָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הָ הַ SCONJ _ _ 11 mark _ Gloss=[who]|Ref=ISA_47:8!7|MId=o230470080071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 אֹֽמְרָה֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 5 appos _ Gloss=says|Ref=ISA_47:8!7|MId=o230470080072|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230470080041;A1:230470080091;230470080102;230470080131;230470080161;|Type=participle_active 12-14 בִּלְבָ֔בָהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_47:8!8|MId=o230470080081|Strong=0871a 13 לְבָ֔ב לֵבָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=heart|Ref=ISA_47:8!8|MId=o230470080082|Strong=3824 14 ָהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=ISA_47:8!8|MId=o230470080083|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 15 אֲנִ֖י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 11 ccomp _ Gloss=I|Ref=ISA_47:8!9|MId=o230470080091|Strong=0589|Type=personal 16-18 וְאַפְסִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_47:8!10|MId=o230470080101|Strong=2050b 17 אַפְס אֶפֶס NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 conj _ Gloss=only|Ref=ISA_47:8!10|MId=o230470080102|Strong=0657 18 ִ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 17 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=ISA_47:8!10|MId=o230470080103|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 19 ע֑וֹד עוֹד ADV _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=[am].yet|Ref=ISA_47:8!11|MId=o230470080111|Strong=5750 20 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 21 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_47:8!12|MId=o230470080121|Strong=3808|Type=negative 21 אֵשֵׁב֙ יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 15 parataxis _ Gloss=I.will.dwell|Ref=ISA_47:8!13|MId=o230470080131|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:230470080041;|Type=yiqtol 22 אַלְמָנָ֔ה אַלְמָנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=a.widow|Ref=ISA_47:8!14|MId=o230470080141|Strong=0490 23-24 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_47:8!15|MId=o230470080151|Strong=2050b 24 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 25 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_47:8!15|MId=o230470080152|Strong=3808|Type=negative 25 אֵדַ֖ע יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 21 conj _ Gloss=I.will.know|Ref=ISA_47:8!16|MId=o230470080161|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:230470080041;A1:230470080171;|Type=yiqtol 26 שְׁכֽוֹל שְׁכוֹל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 obj _ Gloss=childlessness|Ref=ISA_47:8!17|MId=o230470080171|Strong=7908|SpaceAfter=No 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=ISA_47:8!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שִׁמְעִי־ *listen to* | imperative · qal | עֲדִינָה *O voluptuous \[woman\]* | זֹאת *this* | | | | יּוֹשֶׁבֶת *dwells* | participle active · qal | עֲדִינָה *O voluptuous \[woman\]* | | | | | אֹֽמְרָה *says* | participle active · qal | עֲדִינָה *O voluptuous \[woman\]* | אֲנִי *I* + אַפְס *only* + אֵשֵׁב *I will dwell* + אֵדַע *I will know* | | | | **not** אֵשֵׁב *I will dwell* | yiqtol · qal | עֲדִינָה *O voluptuous \[woman\]* | | | | | **not** אֵדַע *I will know* | yiqtol · qal | עֲדִינָה *O voluptuous \[woman\]* | שְׁכֽוֹל *childlessness* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
