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 — great, men — and what happens in the verse to great, 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. וּמֵ֨תוּ גְדֹלִ֧ים וּקְטַנִּ֛ים בָּאָ֥רֶץ הַזֹּ֖את לֹ֣א יִקָּבֵ֑רוּ וְלֹֽא־יִסְפְּד֣וּ לָהֶ֔ם וְלֹ֣א יִתְגֹּדַ֔ד וְלֹ֥א יִקָּרֵ֖חַ לָהֶֽם׃ [Both the great and the small shall die in this land; they shall not be buried; neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.462/) ## 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:394 # text = וּמֵ֨תוּ גְדֹלִ֧ים וּקְטַנִּ֛ים בָּאָ֥רֶץ הַזֹּ֖את לֹ֣א יִקָּבֵ֑רוּ וְלֹֽא־יִסְפְּד֣וּ לָהֶ֔ם וְלֹ֣א יִתְגֹּדַ֔ד וְלֹ֥א יִקָּרֵ֖חַ לָהֶֽם׃ # verse = JER.16.6 1-2 וּמֵ֨תוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_16:6!1|MId=o240160060011|Strong=2050b 2 מֵ֨תוּ מוּת VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.will.die|Ref=JER_16:6!1|MId=o240160060012|Strong=4191|Frame=A0:240160060021;240160060032;|Type=weqatal 3 גְדֹלִ֧ים גָּדוֹל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=great.[people]|Ref=JER_16:6!2|MId=o240160060021|Strong=1419|Type=adjective 4-5 וּקְטַנִּ֛ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_16:6!3|MId=o240160060031|Strong=2050b 5 קְטַנִּ֛ים קָטָן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 conj _ Gloss=insignificant.[people]|Ref=JER_16:6!3|MId=o240160060032|Strong=6996|Type=adjective 6-8 בָּאָ֥רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_16:6!4|MId=o240160060041|Strong=0871a 7 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_16:6!4|MId=o240160060041ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 אָ֥רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=land|Ref=JER_16:6!4|MId=o240160060042|Strong=0776 9-10 הַזֹּ֖את _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JER_16:6!5|MId=o240160060051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 זֹּ֖את זֹאת DET _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 8 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=JER_16:6!5|MId=o240160060052|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 11 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 12 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_16:6!6|MId=o240160060061|Strong=3808|Type=negative 12 יִקָּבֵ֑רוּ קָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.be.buried|Ref=JER_16:6!7|MId=o240160060071|Strong=6912|Frame=A1:240160060021;240160060032;|Type=yiqtol 13-14 וְלֹֽא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_16:6!8|MId=o240160060081|Strong=2050b 14 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 15 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_16:6!8|MId=o240160060082|Strong=3808|Type=negative 15 יִסְפְּד֣וּ סָפַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=people.will.mourn|Ref=JER_16:6!9|MId=o240160060091|Strong=5594|Frame=A0:;|Type=yiqtol 16-17 לָהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 ל לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JER_16:6!10|MId=o240160060101|Strong=3807a 17 ָהֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=JER_16:6!10|MId=o240160060102|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 18-19 וְלֹ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_16:6!11|MId=o240160060111|Strong=2050b 19 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_16:6!11|MId=o240160060112|Strong=3808|Type=negative 20 יִתְגֹּדַ֔ד גָּדַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPOLEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 15 conj _ Gloss=anyone.will.cut.himself|Ref=JER_16:6!12|MId=o240160060121|Strong=1413a|Frame=A0:;|Type=yiqtol 21-22 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_16:6!13|MId=o240160060131|Strong=2050b 22 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 23 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_16:6!13|MId=o240160060132|Strong=3808|Type=negative 23 יִקָּרֵ֖חַ קָרַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 20 conj _ Gloss=anyone.will.make.himself.bald|Ref=JER_16:6!14|MId=o240160060141|Strong=7139|Type=yiqtol 24-25 לָהֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 ל לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JER_16:6!15|MId=o240160060151|Strong=3807a 25 ָהֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=JER_16:6!15|MId=o240160060152|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=JER_16:6!15 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | מֵתוּ *they will die* | weqatal · qal | גְדֹלִים *great \[people\]* + קְטַנִּים *insignificant \[people\]* | | | | | **not** יִקָּבֵרוּ *they will be buried* | yiqtol · niphal | | גְדֹלִים *great \[people\]* + קְטַנִּים *insignificant \[people\]* | | | | **not** יִסְפְּדוּ *people will mourn* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | **not** יִתְגֹּדַד *anyone will cut himself* | yiqtol · hithpolel | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
