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 — fathers — and what happens in the verse, 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 14 chapters of Zechariah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. אֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶ֖ם אַיֵּה־הֵ֑ם וְהַ֨נְּבִאִ֔ים הַלְעוֹלָ֖ם יִֽחְיֽוּ׃ [Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ZEC.4/) ## 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:ZEC:4 # text = אֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶ֖ם אַיֵּה־הֵ֑ם וְהַ֨נְּבִאִ֔ים הַלְעוֹלָ֖ם יִֽחְיֽוּ׃ # verse = ZEC.1.5 1-2 אֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 אֲבֽוֹתֵי אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 dislocated _ Gloss=ancestors|Ref=ZEC_1:5!1|MId=o380010050011|Strong=0001 2 כֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 1 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=ZEC_1:5!1|MId=o380010050012|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 3 אַיֵּה־ אַיֵּה PART _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=where?|Ref=ZEC_1:5!2|MId=o380010050021|Strong=0346|Type=interrogative|SpaceAfter=No 4 הֵ֑ם הֵם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 nsubj _ Gloss=[are].they|Ref=ZEC_1:5!3|MId=o380010050031|Strong=1992|Type=personal 5-7 וְהַ֨נְּבִאִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_1:5!4|MId=o380010050041|Strong=2050b 6 הַ֨ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ZEC_1:5!4|MId=o380010050042|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 נְּבִאִ֔ים נָבִיא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 dislocated _ Gloss=prophets|Ref=ZEC_1:5!4|MId=o380010050043|Strong=5030 8-10 הַלְעוֹלָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ PART _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=|Ref=ZEC_1:5!5|MId=o380010050051|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 9 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=|Ref=ZEC_1:5!5|MId=o380010050052|Strong=3807a 10 עוֹלָ֖ם עוֹלָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=forever?|Ref=ZEC_1:5!5|MId=o380010050053|Strong=5769 11 יִֽחְיֽוּ חָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=do.they.live|Ref=ZEC_1:5!6|MId=o380010050061|Strong=2421|Frame=A0:380010050043;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 12 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 11 punct _ Ref=ZEC_1:5!6 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: wh-question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: speech with no frame - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִֽחְיֽוּ *do they live* | yiqtol · qal | נְּבִאִים *prophets* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
