Song of Songs 4:11 שִׁיר הַשִּׁירִים

Who acts: lips, honey, smell, garments · What happens: drop, be, smell · To what, where: honey, tongue

This is Song of Songs 4:11 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 — lips, honey, smell, garments — and what happens in the verse to honey, tongue, 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.

נֹ֛פֶת תִּטֹּ֥פְנָה שִׂפְתוֹתַ֖יִךְ כַּלָּ֑ה דְּבַ֤שׁ וְחָלָב֙ תַּ֣חַת לְשׁוֹנֵ֔ךְ וְרֵ֥יחַ שַׂלְמֹתַ֖יִךְ כְּרֵ֥יחַ לְבָנֽוֹן׃ס

Thy lips, O my bride, drop honey — honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

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.

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

וּבְעִדָּן דִּמְצַלַּן כָּהֲנַיָּא בַּעֲזַרְתָּא דְּקוּדְשָׁא זָלְחָן סִפְוָתְהוֹן יַעְרַת דּוּבְשָׁא וְלִישָׁנַךְ נִנְפֵּי צְנִיעָא בְּמַלָּלוּתֵךְ שִׁירִין וְתוּשְׁבְּחָן מְתִיקִין כַּחֲלַב וּדְבַשׁ וְרֵיחַ לְבוּשֵׁי כָּהֲנַיִךְ כְּרֵיחַ אוּלְבָּנִין:

The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.
