Celtic Fairy Tales, The Shee an Gannon and the Gruagach Gaire, sentence 6

I took the heads off them all when they came back without the tidings for which they went, and I'm greatly in dread that your head'll be on the twelfth spike, for I'll do the same to you that I did to the eleven kings' sons unless you tell what put a stop to the laughing of the Gruagach."

Who acts: I, heads, head, you · What happens: take, come back, go, be, do, tell · To what, where: heads, dread, twelfth spike, same, you, stop · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «Celtic Fairy Tales» by Joseph Jacobs, The Shee an Gannon and the Gruagach Gaire. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (I, heads, head, you), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
