Indian Fairy Tales, XXIX. the Pigeon and the Crow., sentence 5

I should perhaps add that the Bodhisat is not precisely the Buddha himself but a character which is on its way to becoming perfectly enlightened, and so may be called a future Buddha.

Who acts: I, Bodhisat, character · What happens: add, not be, be, become, enlighten, call · To what, where: animal, Buddha, way, future · Speech: someone speaks here

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