English Fairy Tales, XXI. Childe Rowland., sentence 84
“Bogle” is a provincial word for “spectre,” and is analogous to the Welsh _bwg_, “goblin,” and to the English insect of similar name, and still more curiously to the Russian “Bog,” God, after which so many Russian rivers are named.
Who acts: Bogle · What happens: be, name · To what, where: provincial word, many Russian rivers
This is a sentence of «English Fairy Tales» by Joseph Jacobs, XXI. Childe Rowland.. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Bogle), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
