Celtic Fairy Tales, Notes and References, sentence 87

Finally, so far as we can ascertain their origin, four (v., xvi., xxi., xxii.) are from the East; five (vi., x., xiv., xx., xxv.) are European drolls; three of the romantic tales seem to have been imported (vii., ix., xix.); while three others are possibly Celtic exportations to the Continent (xv., xvii., xxiv.) though the, last may have previously come thence; the remaining eleven are, as far as known, original to Celtic lands.

Who acts: xxi, we, you, three, three others, last · What happens: be, ascertain, x, droll, seem, import · To what, where: origin, xiv, vii, Celtic exportations

This is a sentence of «Celtic Fairy Tales» by Joseph Jacobs, Notes and References. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (xxi, we, you, three), 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.
