Song of Songs 5:9 שִׁיר הַשִּׁירִים

Who acts: beloved, thou · What happens: be, adjure · To what, where: beloved, us

This is Song of Songs 5:9 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 — beloved, thou — and what happens in the verse to beloved, us, 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־דּוֹדֵ֣ךְ מִדּ֔וֹד הַיָּפָ֖ה בַּנָּשִׁ֑ים מַה־דּוֹדֵ֣ךְ מִדּ֔וֹד שֶׁכָּ֖כָה הִשְׁבַּעְתָּֽנוּ׃

'What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? What is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so adjure us?'

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

עֲנוֹ נְבִיַּיָּא וַאֲמַרוּ לְבֵית יִשְׂרָאֵל אֵידֵין אֱלָהָא אַנְתְּ בָּעְיָא לְמִפְלַח כְּנִשְׁתָּא דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל שַׁפִּירְתָא מִכָּל עַמְמַיָּא לְאֵידֵין אַנְתְּ צָבְיָא לְמִדְחַל דְּהַכְּדֵין קַיֵּמְתְּ עֲלָנָא:

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