Celtic Fairy Tales, Conall Yellowclaw, sentence 88

But,' said the one-eyed fox-coloured cat that was commander-in-chief over them, 'you saw him not with your two eyes, and though I have but one eye, there's the rascal up in the tree.'

Who acts: one eyed coloured cat, you, I, rascal · What happens: say, be, not see, have, be up · To what, where: one eyed coloured cat, chief, cat, one eye, tree · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «Celtic Fairy Tales» by Joseph Jacobs, Conall Yellowclaw. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (one eyed coloured cat, you, I, rascal), 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.
