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 — house, fathers — and what happens in the verse to sour grapes, teeth, edge, 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. בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֔ם לֹא־יֹאמְר֣וּ ע֔וֹד אָב֖וֹת אָ֣כְלוּ בֹ֑סֶר וְשִׁנֵּ֥י בָנִ֖ים תִּקְהֶֽינָה׃ [In those days they shall say no more: 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.864/) ## 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:772 # text = בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֔ם לֹא־יֹאמְר֣וּ ע֔וֹד אָב֖וֹת אָ֣כְלוּ בֹ֑סֶר וְשִׁנֵּ֥י בָנִ֖ים תִּקְהֶֽינָה׃ # verse = JER.31.29 1-3 בַּיָּמִ֣ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_31:29!1|MId=o240310290011|Strong=0871a 2 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 3 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_31:29!1|MId=o240310290011ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 3 יָּמִ֣ים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 obl _ Gloss=days|Ref=JER_31:29!1|MId=o240310290012|Strong=3117 4-5 הָהֵ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JER_31:29!2|MId=o240310290021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 הֵ֔ם הֵם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 det _ Gloss=those|Ref=JER_31:29!2|MId=o240310290022|Strong=1992|Type=personal 6 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_31:29!3|MId=o240310290031|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 7 יֹאמְר֣וּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=people.will.say|Ref=JER_31:29!4|MId=o240310290041|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:;|Type=yiqtol 8 ע֔וֹד עוֹד ADV _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=again|Ref=JER_31:29!5|MId=o240310290051|Strong=5750 9 אָב֖וֹת אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 nsubj _ Gloss=fathers|Ref=JER_31:29!6|MId=o240310290061|Strong=0001 10 אָ֣כְלוּ אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 7 ccomp _ Gloss=they.have.eaten|Ref=JER_31:29!7|MId=o240310290071|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:240310290061;A1:240310290081;|Type=qatal 11 בֹ֑סֶר בֹּסֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obj _ Gloss=sour.grape[s]|Ref=JER_31:29!8|MId=o240310290081|Strong=1155 12-13 וְשִׁנֵּ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and.[the]|Ref=JER_31:29!9|MId=o240310290091|Strong=2050b 13 שִׁנֵּ֥י שֵׁן NOUN _ Number=Dual 15 nsubj _ Gloss=teeth|Ref=JER_31:29!9|MId=o240310290092|Strong=8127 14 בָנִ֖ים בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.children|Ref=JER_31:29!10|MId=o240310290101|Strong=1121 15 תִּקְהֶֽינָה קָהָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 10 conj _ Gloss=they.will.be.blunt|Ref=JER_31:29!11|MId=o240310290111|Strong=6949|Frame=A0:240310290092;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 16 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 15 punct _ Ref=JER_31:29!11 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · assert · neg | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** יֹאמְרוּ *people will say* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | אָכְלוּ *they have eaten* | qatal · qal | אָבוֹת *fathers* | בֹסֶר *sour grape\[s\]* | | | | תִּקְהֶֽינָה *they will be blunt* | yiqtol · qal | שִׁנֵּי *teeth* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
