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 — man, good — and what happens in the verse to desert, parched places, wilderness, 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. וְהָיָה֙ כְּעַרְעָ֣ר בָּֽעֲרָבָ֔ה וְלֹ֥א יִרְאֶ֖ה כִּי־יָב֣וֹא ט֑וֹב וְשָׁכַ֤ן חֲרֵרִים֙ בַּמִּדְבָּ֔ר אֶ֥רֶץ מְלֵחָ֖ה וְלֹ֥א תֵשֵֽׁב׃ס [For he shall be like a tamarisk in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.483/) ## 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:415 # text = וְהָיָה֙ כְּעַרְעָ֣ר בָּֽעֲרָבָ֔ה וְלֹ֥א יִרְאֶ֖ה כִּי־יָב֣וֹא ט֑וֹב וְשָׁכַ֤ן חֲרֵרִים֙ בַּמִּדְבָּ֔ר אֶ֥רֶץ מְלֵחָ֖ה וְלֹ֥א תֵשֵֽׁב׃ס # verse = JER.17.6 1-2 וְהָיָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_17:6!1|MId=o240170060011|Strong=2050b 2 הָיָה֙ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 cop _ Gloss=he.will.be|Ref=JER_17:6!1|MId=o240170060012|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:240170050052;|Type=weqatal 3-4 כְּעַרְעָ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=JER_17:6!2|MId=o240170060021|Strong=3509a 4 עַרְעָ֣ר עַרְעָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=a.bush|Ref=JER_17:6!2|MId=o240170060022|Strong=6199 5-7 בָּֽעֲרָבָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בָּֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_17:6!3|MId=o240170060031|Strong=0871a 6 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the.desert|Ref=JER_17:6!3|MId=o240170060031ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 עֲרָבָ֔ה עֲרָבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 nmod _ Gloss=plain|Ref=JER_17:6!3|MId=o240170060032|Strong=6160 8-9 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_17:6!4|MId=o240170060041|Strong=2050b 9 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_17:6!4|MId=o240170060042|Strong=3808|Type=negative 10 יִרְאֶ֖ה רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=he.will.see|Ref=JER_17:6!5|MId=o240170060051|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:240170050052;A1:240170060071;|Type=yiqtol 11 כִּי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JER_17:6!6|MId=o240170060061|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 12 יָב֣וֹא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 10 ccomp _ Gloss=it.will.come|Ref=JER_17:6!7|MId=o240170060071|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:240170060081;|Type=yiqtol 13 ט֑וֹב טוֹב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=good|Ref=JER_17:6!8|MId=o240170060081|Strong=2896|Type=adjective 14-15 וְשָׁכַ֤ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_17:6!9|MId=o240170060091|Strong=2050b 15 שָׁכַ֤ן שָׁכַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=he.will.dwell|Ref=JER_17:6!9|MId=o240170060092|Strong=7931|Frame=A0:240170050052;|Type=weqatal 16 חֲרֵרִים֙ חֲרֵרִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 obl _ Gloss=parched.places|Ref=JER_17:6!10|MId=o240170060101|Strong=2788 17-19 בַּמִּדְבָּ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_17:6!11|MId=o240170060111|Strong=0871a 18 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_17:6!11|MId=o240170060111ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 מִּדְבָּ֔ר מִדְבָּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nmod _ Gloss=wilderness|Ref=JER_17:6!11|MId=o240170060112|Strong=4057 20 אֶ֥רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 16 appos _ Gloss=a.land|Ref=JER_17:6!12|MId=o240170060121|Strong=0776 21 מְלֵחָ֖ה מְלֵחָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.saltiness|Ref=JER_17:6!13|MId=o240170060131|Strong=4420 22-23 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_17:6!14|MId=o240170060141|Strong=2050b 23 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 24 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_17:6!14|MId=o240170060142|Strong=3808|Type=negative 24 תֵשֵֽׁב יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 21 conj _ Gloss=anyone.dwells|Ref=JER_17:6!15|MId=o240170060151|Strong=3427|Frame=A1:240170060121;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=JER_17:6!15|SpaceAfter=No 26 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=JER_17:6!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הָיָה *he will be* | weqatal · qal | | | | | | **not** יִרְאֶה *he will see* | yiqtol · qal | | יָבוֹא *it will come* | | | | יָבוֹא *it will come* | yiqtol · qal | טוֹב *good* | | | | | שָׁכַן *he will dwell* | weqatal · qal | | | | | | **not** תֵשֵֽׁב *anyone dwells* | yiqtol · qal | | אֶרֶץ *a land* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
