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 — bay, horses — and what happens in the verse to north country, spirit, 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. וַיַּזְעֵ֣ק אֹתִ֔י וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר אֵלַ֖י לֵאמֹ֑ר רְאֵ֗ה הַיּֽוֹצְאִים֙ אֶל־אֶ֣רֶץ צָפ֔וֹן הֵנִ֥יחוּ אֶת־רוּחִ֖י בְּאֶ֥רֶץ צָפֽוֹן׃ס [Then cried he upon me, and spoke unto me, saying: 'Behold, they that go toward the north country have eased My spirit in the north country.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ZEC.77/) ## 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:76 # text = וַיַּזְעֵ֣ק אֹתִ֔י וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר אֵלַ֖י לֵאמֹ֑ר רְאֵ֗ה הַיּֽוֹצְאִים֙ אֶל־אֶ֣רֶץ צָפ֔וֹן הֵנִ֥יחוּ אֶת־רוּחִ֖י בְּאֶ֥רֶץ צָפֽוֹן׃ס # verse = ZEC.6.8 1-2 וַיַּזְעֵ֣ק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_6:8!1|MId=o380060080011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּזְעֵ֣ק זָעַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.called.out.to|Ref=ZEC_6:8!1|MId=o380060080012|Strong=2199|Frame=AA:380050040031;A0:380060080022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֹתִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=|Ref=ZEC_6:8!2|MId=o380060080021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 4 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=me|Ref=ZEC_6:8!2|MId=o380060080022|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 5-6 וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_6:8!3|MId=o380060080031|Strong=2050b 6 יְדַבֵּ֥ר דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.spoke|Ref=ZEC_6:8!3|MId=o380060080032|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:380050040031;|Type=wayyiqtol 7-8 אֵלַ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 אֵל אֶל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ZEC_6:8!4|MId=o380060080041|Strong=0413 8 ַ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 6 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=ZEC_6:8!4|MId=o380060080042|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 9-10 לֵאמֹ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 11 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=ZEC_6:8!5|MId=o380060080051|Strong=3807a 10 אמֹ֑ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 9 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=ZEC_6:8!5|MId=o380060080052|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:380050040031;|Type=infinitive_construct 11 רְאֵ֗ה רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 6 ccomp _ Gloss=see|Ref=ZEC_6:8!6|MId=o380060080061|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:380010070171;|Type=imperative 12-13 הַיּֽוֹצְאִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=[those|Ref=ZEC_6:8!7|MId=o380060080071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 יּֽוֹצְאִים֙ יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 17 nsubj _ Gloss=which.are].going.out|Ref=ZEC_6:8!7|MId=o380060080072|Strong=3318|Type=participle_active 14 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ZEC_6:8!8|MId=o380060080081|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 15 אֶ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 obl _ Gloss=[the].land|Ref=ZEC_6:8!9|MId=o380060080091|Strong=0776 16 צָפ֔וֹן צָפוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].north|Ref=ZEC_6:8!10|MId=o380060080101|Strong=6828 17 הֵנִ֥יחוּ נוּחַ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 11 parataxis _ Gloss=they.have.caused.to.rest|Ref=ZEC_6:8!11|MId=o380060080111|Strong=5117|Frame=AA:380060080072;A0:380060080131;|Type=qatal 18 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=ZEC_6:8!12|MId=o380060080121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 19-20 רוּחִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 רוּח רוּחַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=spirit|Ref=ZEC_6:8!13|MId=o380060080131|Strong=7307 20 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=ZEC_6:8!13|MId=o380060080132|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 21-22 בְּאֶ֥רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=in.[the]|Ref=ZEC_6:8!14|MId=o380060080141|Strong=0871a 22 אֶ֥רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=land|Ref=ZEC_6:8!14|MId=o380060080142|Strong=0776 23 צָפֽוֹן צָפוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].north|Ref=ZEC_6:8!15|MId=o380060080151|Strong=6828|SpaceAfter=No 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=ZEC_6:8!15|SpaceAfter=No 25 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=ZEC_6:8!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַּזְעֵק *he called out to* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | ִי *me* | | | | | יְדַבֵּר *he spoke* | wayyiqtol · piel | | | | | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | רְאֵה *see* | imperative · qal | | | | | | הֵנִיחוּ *they have caused to rest* | qatal · hiphil | רוּח *spirit* | | | יּֽוֹצְאִים *which are\] going out* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
