<!-- .fr -->
| # | verb | tense, mood | who | what, whom | to whom | where | when | other | roles by |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | **is** | may | this |  |  |  |  | due the fact; partly, perhaps *property* | tree rules |
| 2 | **is** | present | a larger proportion of the tales | the fact *not said here* |  |  |  | of native manufacture | tree rules |

<!-- .note -->
One row per clause the reader finds. «not said here»: a role filled from the clause above. «roles by»: a VerbNet class and frame when one fits the verb, else the reader's rules on the tree.
