days-of

Rootיום (y-w-m)
Core Meaningsday, heat, time, period, age
Semantic RangeLiteral: days (sunrise to sunset or sunset to sunset); idiomatic: 'as in the days of' (comparisons, e.g., Hos 2:3), time periods, ages, seasons, ever/always in phrases.
Conceptual Significanceיום symbolizes God's ordered creation (Gen 1 daily structure) and covenantal timing (e.g., 'days of Noah' for judgment/reckoning); in prophetic 'days of' phrases, it evokes eras of divine action, restoration, or warning, underscoring YHWH's sovereignty over time and history.
Morphological NotesHR/Ncmpc: Hebrew Root, Noun common masculine plural construct (17 occurrences); surfaces show כִּ/ימֵי with varying maqqef and accent, always preposition כִּ- + ימֵי construct.
Rendering RationaleThe form כִּימֵי is the preposition כִּ- 'like/as' governing the masculine noun ימים 'days' in the construct state (cmpc), commonly meaning 'as in the days of'; 'days-of' preserves this idiomatic sense while hyphenating to reflect the inseparable preposition and construct chain, maintaining masculine plural morphology without alteration. This rendering stays faithful to the root's connotation of warm temporal periods without imposing English gender markers unnecessary for nouns. It directly evokes the lexeme's 'day (as the warm hours)' etymology.
