Welcome to MAP syntax diagrams

This application is a tool for the structural analysis of ancient divine onomastic sequences. Input data must follow the format defined in the ERC project Mapping Ancient Polytheisms and be stored in a column entitled “formule”.

In this format, an onomastic sequence such as:
  lʿštrt lʾdny lʾšmn
is represented as:
  To Astarte / [ to his lord # to Eshmoun ]
and encoded as:
  1 / [ 2 # 3 ]

Numbers refer to the elements of the sequence (nouns, adjectives, etc.), four symbols (+, /, #, =) qualify their relations, and brackets and parentheses are used to group the elements in syntagmas.
