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 — I — and what happens in the verse to two olive trees, 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. וָאַ֖עַן וָאֹמַ֣ר אֵלָ֑יו מַה־שְּׁנֵ֤י הַזֵּיתִים֙ הָאֵ֔לֶה עַל־יְמִ֥ין הַמְּנוֹרָ֖ה וְעַל־שְׂמֹאולָֽהּ׃ [Then answered I, and said unto him: 'What are these two olive-trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ZEC.54/) ## 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:54 # text = וָאַ֖עַן וָאֹמַ֣ר אֵלָ֑יו מַה־שְּׁנֵ֤י הַזֵּיתִים֙ הָאֵ֔לֶה עַל־יְמִ֥ין הַמְּנוֹרָ֖ה וְעַל־שְׂמֹאולָֽהּ׃ # verse = ZEC.4.11 1-2 וָאַ֖עַן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_4:11!1|MId=o380040110011|Strong=2050b 2 אַ֖עַן עָנָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.answered|Ref=ZEC_4:11!1|MId=o380040110012|Strong=6030|Frame=A0:380010070171;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 וָאֹמַ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_4:11!2|MId=o380040110021|Strong=2050b 4 אֹמַ֣ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.said|Ref=ZEC_4:11!2|MId=o380040110022|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:380010070171;|Type=wayyiqtol 5-6 אֵלָ֑יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 אֵלָ֑י אֶל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ZEC_4:11!3|MId=o380040110031|Strong=0413 6 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=ZEC_4:11!3|MId=o380040110032|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 7 מַה־ מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 2 ccomp _ Gloss=what?|Ref=ZEC_4:11!4|MId=o380040110041|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative|SpaceAfter=No 8 שְּׁנֵ֤י שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 10 nummod _ Gloss=[are].the.two|Ref=ZEC_4:11!5|MId=o380040110051|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 9-10 הַזֵּיתִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the.olive|Ref=ZEC_4:11!6|MId=o380040110061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 זֵּיתִים֙ זַיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 nsubj _ Gloss=trees|Ref=ZEC_4:11!6|MId=o380040110062|Strong=2132 11-12 הָאֵ֔לֶה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ZEC_4:11!7|MId=o380040110071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 אֵ֔לֶה אֵלֶּה DET _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 10 det _ Gloss=these|Ref=ZEC_4:11!7|MId=o380040110072|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 13 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=ZEC_4:11!8|MId=o380040110081|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 14 יְמִ֥ין יָמִין NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 nmod _ Gloss=the.right.side|Ref=ZEC_4:11!9|MId=o380040110091|Strong=3225 15-16 הַמְּנוֹרָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=ZEC_4:11!10|MId=o380040110101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 מְּנוֹרָ֖ה מְנוֹרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.lampstand|Ref=ZEC_4:11!10|MId=o380040110102|Strong=4501 17-18 וְעַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_4:11!11|MId=o380040110111|Strong=2050b 18 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=ZEC_4:11!11|MId=o380040110112|Strong=5921 19-20 שְׂמֹאולָֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 שְׂמֹאול שְׂמֹאל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 conj _ Gloss=side|Ref=ZEC_4:11!12|MId=o380040110121|Strong=8040 20 ָֽהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its.left|Ref=ZEC_4:11!12|MId=o380040110122|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=ZEC_4:11!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: wh-question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אַעַן *I answered* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | אֹמַר *I said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
