cycle-years

Morphological Notes	Aramaic noun, common feminine plural absolute (ANcfpa) from שְׁנָה (shᵉnâh, "year"). The plural form שְׁנִין is characteristic of Biblical Aramaic.
Rendering Rationale	The Aramaic noun שְׁנִין is feminine plural absolute, so the rendering preserves the plural form as "years." By expressing it as "cycle-years," the translation reflects the root idea of repetition and cyclical return inherent in שנה, highlighting the concept of time as a recurring revolution.
