לְ/עֹֽלָמִ֔ים
𐤋/𐤏𐤋𐤌𐤉𐤌
ʻôwlâm
A duration of time that is indefinitely long, either extending into the remote past, the indefinite future, or characterized by unending perpetuity; in some contexts, refers to ancient times, remote antiquity, or an ongoing period. Rarely, may denote a persistent status that endures for generations or ages. The term does not necessarily imply absolute, metaphysical eternity as later conceived, but rather a temporal span beyond clear human perception or memory.

SIBI-P1 Translation H5769-05
for hidden ages
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ + masculine plural absolute noun עֹלָם. |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural masculine noun עֹלָמִים denotes multiple extended, concealed durations (‘ages’), and the prefixed לְ adds the sense ‘for’ or ‘unto.’ ‘Hidden ages’ preserves the root idea of concealed or beyond-sight time spans while reflecting the plural form. |
