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, ye, LORD, my — and what happens in the verse to me, womb, mention, bowels, name, 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. שִׁמְע֤וּ אִיִּים֙ אֵלַ֔י וְהַקְשִׁ֥יבוּ לְאֻמִּ֖ים מֵרָח֑וֹק יְהוָה֙ מִבֶּ֣טֶן קְרָאָ֔נִי מִמְּעֵ֥י אִמִּ֖י הִזְכִּ֥יר שְׁמִֽי׃ [Listen, O isles, unto me, and hearken, ye peoples, from far: the LORD hath called me from the womb, from the bowels of my mother hath He made mention of my name;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1083/) ## 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:982 # text = שִׁמְע֤וּ אִיִּים֙ אֵלַ֔י וְהַקְשִׁ֥יבוּ לְאֻמִּ֖ים מֵרָח֑וֹק יְהוָה֙ מִבֶּ֣טֶן קְרָאָ֔נִי מִמְּעֵ֥י אִמִּ֖י הִזְכִּ֥יר שְׁמִֽי׃ # verse = ISA.49.1 1 שִׁמְע֤וּ שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=listen|Ref=ISA_49:1!1|MId=o230490010011|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:230490010021;|Type=imperative 2 אִיִּים֙ אִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 1 dislocated _ Gloss=O.islands|Ref=ISA_49:1!2|MId=o230490010021|Strong=0339 3-4 אֵלַ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֵל אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_49:1!3|MId=o230490010031|Strong=0413 4 ַ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 1 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=ISA_49:1!3|MId=o230490010032|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 5-6 וְהַקְשִׁ֥יבוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_49:1!4|MId=o230490010041|Strong=2050b 6 הַקְשִׁ֥יבוּ קָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=pay.attention|Ref=ISA_49:1!4|MId=o230490010042|Strong=7181|Frame=A0:230490010051;|Type=imperative 7 לְאֻמִּ֖ים לְאֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 parataxis _ Gloss=O.peoples|Ref=ISA_49:1!5|MId=o230490010051|Strong=3816 8-9 מֵרָח֑וֹק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=ISA_49:1!6|MId=o230490010061|Strong=4480 9 רָח֑וֹק רָחֹוק ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nmod _ Gloss=a.distance|Ref=ISA_49:1!6|MId=o230490010062|Strong=7350|Type=adjective 10 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 13 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_49:1!7|MId=o230490010071|Strong=3068 11-12 מִבֶּ֣טֶן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=from.[the]|Ref=ISA_49:1!8|MId=o230490010081|Strong=4480 12 בֶּ֣טֶן בֶּטֶן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 obl _ Gloss=womb|Ref=ISA_49:1!8|MId=o230490010082|Strong=0990 13-14 קְרָאָ֔נִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 קְרָא קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=he|Ref=ISA_49:1!9|MId=o230490010091|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:230490010071;A1:230490010092;|Type=qatal 14 ָ֔נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 obj _ Gloss=called.me|Ref=ISA_49:1!9|MId=o230490010092|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 15-16 מִמְּעֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=from.[the]|Ref=ISA_49:1!10|MId=o230490010101|Strong=4480 16 מְּעֵ֥י מֵעִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 obl _ Gloss=inward.parts|Ref=ISA_49:1!10|MId=o230490010102|Strong=4578 17-18 אִמִּ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 אִמּ אֵם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=my.mother|Ref=ISA_49:1!11|MId=o230490010111|Strong=0517 18 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=ISA_49:1!11|MId=o230490010112|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 19 הִזְכִּ֥יר זָכַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 13 ccomp _ Gloss=he.has.brought.to.remembrance|Ref=ISA_49:1!12|MId=o230490010121|Strong=2142|Frame=AA:230490010071;A0:230490010131;|Type=qatal 20-21 שְׁמִֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 שְׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obj _ Gloss=name|Ref=ISA_49:1!13|MId=o230490010131|Strong=8034 21 ִֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=ISA_49:1!13|MId=o230490010132|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=ISA_49:1!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שִׁמְעוּ *listen* | imperative · qal | אִיִּים *O islands* | | | | | הַקְשִׁיבוּ *pay attention* | imperative · hiphil | לְאֻמִּים *O peoples* | | | | | קְרָא *he* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | ָנִי *called me* | | | | הִזְכִּיר *he has brought to remembrance* | qatal · hiphil | שְׁמ *name* | | | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
