Weather, lightning and storms, sentence 5
For the fun myths, look closely: raindrops aren't teardrop-shaped, "heat lightning" is just faraway lightning, and storms are named from a list, not after people who caused them.
Who acts: you, raindrops, heat lightning, people · What happens: look, not be, be, name, cause · To what, where: faraway lightning, storms, list, raindrops
This is a sentence of the lesson «Weather, lightning and storms» of the myths course of Mova's primary school.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×1, R6-punct-agree ×1, R7-rel-agree ×1, R8-pos-agree ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
