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 — lamentation, I, pleasure, LORD — and what happens in the verse to housetops, Moab, 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. עַ֣ל כָּל־גַּגּ֥וֹת מוֹאָ֛ב וּבִרְחֹבֹתֶ֖יהָ כֻּלֹּ֣ה מִסְפֵּ֑ד כִּֽי־שָׁבַ֣רְתִּי אֶת־מוֹאָ֗ב כִּכְלִ֛י אֵֽין־חֵ֥פֶץ בּ֖וֹ נְאֻם־יְהוָֽה׃ [On all the housetops of Moab and in the broad places thereof there is lamentation every where; for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the LORD.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.1274/) ## 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:1170 # text = עַ֣ל כָּל־גַּגּ֥וֹת מוֹאָ֛ב וּבִרְחֹבֹתֶ֖יהָ כֻּלֹּ֣ה מִסְפֵּ֑ד כִּֽי־שָׁבַ֣רְתִּי אֶת־מוֹאָ֗ב כִּכְלִ֛י אֵֽין־חֵ֥פֶץ בּ֖וֹ נְאֻם־יְהוָֽה׃ # verse = JER.48.38 1 עַ֣ל עַל ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JER_48:38!1|MId=o240480380011|Strong=5921 2 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=JER_48:38!2|MId=o240480380021|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 3 גַּגּ֥וֹת גָּג NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.roofs|Ref=JER_48:38!3|MId=o240480380031|Strong=1406 4 מוֹאָ֛ב מוֹאָב PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Moab|Ref=JER_48:38!4|MId=o240480380041|Strong=4124 5-8 וּבִרְחֹבֹתֶ֖יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_48:38!5|MId=o240480380051|Strong=2050b 6 בִ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_48:38!5|MId=o240480380052|Strong=0871a 7 רְחֹבֹתֶ֖י רְחֹב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 2 conj _ Gloss=its.open|Ref=JER_48:38!5|MId=o240480380053|Strong=7339 8 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=places|Ref=JER_48:38!5|MId=o240480380054|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 9-10 כֻּלֹּ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 כֻּלּ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=of.it|Ref=JER_48:38!6|MId=o240480380061|Strong=3605 10 ֹ֣ה הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=all|Ref=JER_48:38!6|MId=o240480380062|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 11 מִסְפֵּ֑ד מִסְפֵּד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[will.be].wailing|Ref=JER_48:38!7|MId=o240480380071|Strong=4553 12 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JER_48:38!8|MId=o240480380081|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 13 שָׁבַ֣רְתִּי שָׁבַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 11 advcl _ Gloss=I.will.break|Ref=JER_48:38!9|MId=o240480380091|Strong=7665|Frame=A0:240480350041;A1:240480380111;|Type=qatal 14 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_48:38!10|MId=o240480380101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 15 מוֹאָ֗ב מוֹאָב PROPN _ _ 13 obj _ Gloss=Moab|Ref=JER_48:38!11|MId=o240480380111|Strong=4124 16-17 כִּכְלִ֛י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 כִּ כְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=JER_48:38!12|MId=o240480380121|Strong=3509a 17 כְלִ֛י כְּלִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obl _ Gloss=a.vessel|Ref=JER_48:38!12|MId=o240480380122|Strong=3627 18 אֵֽין־ אַיִן ADV _ _ 17 acl _ Gloss=[which].there.[is].not|Ref=JER_48:38!13|MId=o240480380131|Strong=0369|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 19 חֵ֥פֶץ חֵפֶץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 nsubj _ Gloss=pleasure|Ref=JER_48:38!14|MId=o240480380141|Strong=2656 20-21 בּ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_48:38!15|MId=o240480380151|Strong=0871a 21 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=JER_48:38!15|MId=o240480380152|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22 נְאֻם־ נְאֻם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 parataxis _ Gloss=the.utterance|Ref=JER_48:38!16|MId=o240480380161|Strong=5002|SpaceAfter=No 23 יְהוָֽה יהוה PROPN _ _ 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=JER_48:38!17|MId=o240480380171|Strong=3068|SpaceAfter=No 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=JER_48:38!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שָׁבַרְתִּי *I will break* | qatal · qal | | מוֹאָב *Moab* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
