The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Chapter I. The Cyclone, sentence 5

There was no garret at all, and no cellar—except a small hole dug in the ground, called a cyclone cellar, where the family could go in case one of those great whirlwinds arose, mighty enough to crush any building in its path.

Who acts: garret, small hole, family, great whirlwinds · What happens: be, dig, call, go, arise, crush · To what, where: cellar, small hole, ground, cyclone cellar, building, path · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «The Wonderful Wizard of Oz» by L. Frank Baum, Chapter I. The Cyclone. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (garret, small hole, family, great whirlwinds), 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.
