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, two olive branches, two golden spouts — and what happens in the verse to two olive branches, two golden spouts, golden oil, 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. וָאַ֣עַן שֵׁנִ֔ית וָאֹמַ֖ר אֵלָ֑יו מַה־שְׁתֵּ֞י שִׁבֲּלֵ֣י הַזֵּיתִ֗ים אֲשֶׁר֙ בְּיַ֗ד שְׁנֵי֙ צַנְתְּר֣וֹת הַזָּהָ֔ב הַֽמְרִיקִ֥ים מֵעֲלֵיהֶ֖ם הַזָּהָֽב׃ [And I answered the second time, and said unto him: 'What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that empty the golden oil out of themselves?'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ZEC.55/) ## 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:55 # text = וָאַ֣עַן שֵׁנִ֔ית וָאֹמַ֖ר אֵלָ֑יו מַה־שְׁתֵּ֞י שִׁבֲּלֵ֣י הַזֵּיתִ֗ים אֲשֶׁר֙ בְּיַ֗ד שְׁנֵי֙ צַנְתְּר֣וֹת הַזָּהָ֔ב הַֽמְרִיקִ֥ים מֵעֲלֵיהֶ֖ם הַזָּהָֽב׃ # verse = ZEC.4.12 1-2 וָאַ֣עַן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_4:12!1|MId=o380040120011|Strong=2050b 2 אַ֣עַן עָנָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.answered|Ref=ZEC_4:12!1|MId=o380040120012|Strong=6030|Frame=A0:380010070171;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 שֵׁנִ֔ית שֵׁנִי NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 advmod _ Gloss=a.second.[time]|Ref=ZEC_4:12!2|MId=o380040120021|Strong=8145|Type=ordinal_number 4-5 וָאֹמַ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_4:12!3|MId=o380040120031|Strong=2050b 5 אֹמַ֖ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.said|Ref=ZEC_4:12!3|MId=o380040120032|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:380010070171;|Type=wayyiqtol 6-7 אֵלָ֑יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 אֵלָ֑י אֶל ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ZEC_4:12!4|MId=o380040120041|Strong=0413 7 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=ZEC_4:12!4|MId=o380040120042|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 8 מַה־ מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 5 ccomp _ Gloss=what?|Ref=ZEC_4:12!5|MId=o380040120051|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative|SpaceAfter=No 9 שְׁתֵּ֞י שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 10 nummod _ Gloss=[are].the.two|Ref=ZEC_4:12!6|MId=o380040120061|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 10 שִׁבֲּלֵ֣י שִׁבֹּלֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 8 nsubj _ Gloss=the.clusters|Ref=ZEC_4:12!7|MId=o380040120071|Strong=7641 11-12 הַזֵּיתִ֗ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=ZEC_4:12!8|MId=o380040120081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 זֵּיתִ֗ים זַיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.olive.trees|Ref=ZEC_4:12!8|MId=o380040120082|Strong=2132 13 אֲשֶׁר֙ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 15 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=ZEC_4:12!9|MId=o380040120091|Strong=0834|Type=relative 14-15 בְּיַ֗ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=[are].at|Ref=ZEC_4:12!10|MId=o380040120101|Strong=0871a 15 יַ֗ד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 10 acl:relcl _ Gloss=the.hand|Ref=ZEC_4:12!10|MId=o380040120102|Strong=3027 16 שְׁנֵי֙ שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 17 nummod _ Gloss=of.the.two|Ref=ZEC_4:12!11|MId=o380040120111|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 17 צַנְתְּר֣וֹת צַנְתְּרוֹת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.pipes|Ref=ZEC_4:12!12|MId=o380040120121|Strong=6804 18-19 הַזָּהָ֔ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=ZEC_4:12!13|MId=o380040120131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 זָּהָ֔ב זָהָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=gold|Ref=ZEC_4:12!13|MId=o380040120132|Strong=2091 20-21 הַֽמְרִיקִ֥ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַֽ הַ SCONJ _ _ 21 mark _ Gloss=[which|Ref=ZEC_4:12!14|MId=o380040120141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 מְרִיקִ֥ים רִיק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur 17 appos _ Gloss=are].pouring.out|Ref=ZEC_4:12!14|MId=o380040120142|Strong=7324a|Frame=AA:380040120121;A0:380040120162;|Type=participle_active 22-24 מֵעֲלֵיהֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=ZEC_4:12!15|MId=o380040120151|Strong=4480 23 עֲלֵי עַל ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ZEC_4:12!15|MId=o380040120152|Strong=5921 24 הֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=ZEC_4:12!15|MId=o380040120153|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 25-26 הַזָּהָֽב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 26 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ZEC_4:12!16|MId=o380040120161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 26 זָּהָֽב זָהָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 obj _ Gloss=gold|Ref=ZEC_4:12!16|MId=o380040120162|Strong=2091 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=ZEC_4:12!16 ``` ## 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 | | | | | | מְרִיקִים *are\] pouring out* | participle active · hiphil | זָּהָֽב *gold* | | | צַנְתְּרוֹת *the pipes* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
