Song of Songs 4:10 שִׁיר הַשִּׁירִים

Who acts: love, thy, ointments · What happens: be, love, smell

This is Song of Songs 4:10 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Ketuvim — the Writings). 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 — love, thy, ointments — and what happens in the verse, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of the Targum 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 8 chapters of Song of Songs on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

מַה־יָּפ֥וּ דֹדַ֖יִךְ אֲחֹתִ֣י כַלָּ֑ה מַה־טֹּ֤בוּ דֹדַ֙יִךְ֙ מִיַּ֔יִן וְרֵ֥יחַ שְׁמָנַ֖יִךְ מִכָּל־בְּשָׂמִֽים׃

How fair is thy love, my sister, my bride! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all manner of spices!

The 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.

Pragmatics

form: wh-question
act: ask
voice: character
speech: inside a quote begun earlier
negation: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
יָּפוּ they are beautiful	qatal · qal	דֹדַי love(s)
טֹּבוּ they are good	qatal · qal	דֹדַי love(s)

MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant. A0 is the one who acts, A1 what the act is done to or is about, A2 a further participant; AA, with a causative verb, the one who makes it happen.

The Targum

כַּמָּה שַׁפִּירָן עֲלַי חִבְּתִיךְ אֲחָתִי כְּנִשְׁתָּא דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל דִּמְתִילָא לְנִנְפֵּי דְּהִיא צְנִיעָא כַּמָּה טָבָן עֲלַי חִבְּתִיךְ יַתִּיר מִשִּׁבְעִין אוּמַּיָּא וְשׁוּם טָב דְּצַדִּיקַיִךְ נָדִיף מִכָּל בּוּסְמָנִין:
