Indian Fairy Tales, I. the Lion and the Crane., sentence 16

The similarity of the Jataka form with that familiar to us, and derived by us in the last resort from Phædrus, is so striking that few will deny some historical relation between them.

Who acts: similarity, few · What happens: derive, strike, deny · To what, where: last resort, historical relation

This is a sentence of «Indian Fairy Tales» by Joseph Jacobs, I. the Lion and the Crane.. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (similarity, few), 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.
