| Morphological Notes | Adverb of time; invariant form; no gender, number, or person marking. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adverb תְּמוֹל denotes time just prior to the present, most commonly 'yesterday' but also more broadly 'previously' or 'a short time ago.' 'Recently before' preserves the root idea of nearness in past time without restricting it to a single day. |
