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 — children — and what happens in the verse to tent, cords, curtains, 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 52 chapters of Jeremiah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. אָהֳלִ֣י שֻׁדָּ֔ד וְכָל־מֵיתָרַ֖י נִתָּ֑קוּ בָּנַ֤י יְצָאֻ֙נִי֙ וְאֵינָ֔ם אֵין־נֹטֶ֥ה עוֹד֙ אָהֳלִ֔י וּמֵקִ֖ים יְרִיעוֹתָֽי׃ [My tent is spoiled, and all my cords are broken; my children are gone forth of me, and they are not; there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.319/) ## 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:JER:273 # text = אָהֳלִ֣י שֻׁדָּ֔ד וְכָל־מֵיתָרַ֖י נִתָּ֑קוּ בָּנַ֤י יְצָאֻ֙נִי֙ וְאֵינָ֔ם אֵין־נֹטֶ֥ה עוֹד֙ אָהֳלִ֔י וּמֵקִ֖ים יְרִיעוֹתָֽי׃ # verse = JER.10.20 1-2 אָהֳלִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 אָהֳל אֹהֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 nsubj _ Gloss=tent|Ref=JER_10:20!1|MId=o240100200011|Strong=0168 2 ִ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 1 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JER_10:20!1|MId=o240100200012|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 3 שֻׁדָּ֔ד שָׁדַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PUAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.has.been.devastated|Ref=JER_10:20!2|MId=o240100200021|Strong=7703|Frame=A1:240100200011;|Type=qatal 4-5 וְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_10:20!3|MId=o240100200031|Strong=2050b 5 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 nsubj _ Gloss=all|Ref=JER_10:20!3|MId=o240100200032|Strong=3605 6-7 מֵיתָרַ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 מֵיתָר מֵיתָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=tent-cords|Ref=JER_10:20!4|MId=o240100200041|Strong=4340 7 ַ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JER_10:20!4|MId=o240100200042|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 8 נִתָּ֑קוּ נָתַק VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=they.have.been.snapped|Ref=JER_10:20!5|MId=o240100200051|Strong=5423|Frame=A1:240100200041;|Type=qatal 9-10 בָּנַ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בָּנ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 nsubj _ Gloss=children|Ref=JER_10:20!6|MId=o240100200061|Strong=1121 10 ַ֤י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JER_10:20!6|MId=o240100200062|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 11-12 יְצָאֻ֙נִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 יְצָאֻ֙ יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 parataxis _ Gloss=they|Ref=JER_10:20!7|MId=o240100200071|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:240100200061;|Type=qatal 12 נִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 11 advmod _ Gloss=have.gone.out.from.me|Ref=JER_10:20!7|MId=o240100200072|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 13-15 וְאֵינָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_10:20!8|MId=o240100200081|Strong=2050b 14 אֵינ אַיִן ADV _ _ 3 conj _ Gloss=they.[are]|Ref=JER_10:20!8|MId=o240100200082|Strong=0369|Type=negative 15 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nsubj _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_10:20!8|MId=o240100200083|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 16 אֵין־ אַיִן ADV _ _ 3 parataxis _ Gloss=there.[is].not|Ref=JER_10:20!9|MId=o240100200091|Strong=0369|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 17 נֹטֶ֥ה נָטָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 16 nsubj _ Gloss=[one.who].pitches|Ref=JER_10:20!10|MId=o240100200101|Strong=5186|Frame=A1:240100200121;|Type=participle_active 18 עוֹד֙ עוֹד ADV _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=again|Ref=JER_10:20!11|MId=o240100200111|Strong=5750 19-20 אָהֳלִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 אָהֳל אֹהֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=tent|Ref=JER_10:20!12|MId=o240100200121|Strong=0168 20 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JER_10:20!12|MId=o240100200122|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 21-22 וּמֵקִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_10:20!13|MId=o240100200131|Strong=2050b 22 מֵקִ֖ים קוּם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 17 conj _ Gloss=[one.who].raises|Ref=JER_10:20!13|MId=o240100200132|Strong=6965|Frame=A1:240100200141;|Type=participle_active 23-24 יְרִיעוֹתָֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 יְרִיעוֹת יְרִיעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 22 obj _ Gloss=curtains|Ref=JER_10:20!14|MId=o240100200141|Strong=3407 24 ָֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my.tent|Ref=JER_10:20!14|MId=o240100200142|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=JER_10:20!14 ``` ## 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** שֻׁדָּד *it has been devastated* | qatal · pual | | אָהֳל *tent* | | | | נִתָּקוּ *they have been snapped* | qatal · niphal | | מֵיתָר *tent-cords* | | | | יְצָאֻ *they* | qatal · qal | בָּנ *children* | | | | | נֹטֶה *\[one who\] pitches* | participle active · qal | | אָהֳל *tent* | | | | מֵקִים *\[one who\] raises* | participle active · hiphil | | יְרִיעוֹת *curtains* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
