The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 9, sentence 54

“Now thou knowest!” and the torrent of black horns, foaming muzzles, and staring eyes whirled down the ravine just as boulders go down in floodtime; the weaker buffaloes being shouldered out to the sides of the ravine where they tore through the creepers.

Who acts: thou, black horns, boulders, buffaloes · What happens: know, foam, stare, whirl down, go down, shoulder out · To what, where: muzzles, eyes, weaker buffaloes, creepers

This is a sentence of «The Jungle Book» by Rudyard Kipling, The Jungle Book, part 9. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (thou, black horns, boulders, buffaloes), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

Parsed by Mova, not checked by a teacher. This tree is Mova's own parse (the en model, on the CPU, when the site is built); it may be wrong.
