SIBI-P1 H8141-17
revolving years
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew noun, common feminine plural absolute (HNcfpa) from שָׁנָה (year). No pronominal suffix; plural form marked by ִים ending in this lexicalized plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שָׁנִים is the feminine plural absolute form of שָׁנָה, derived from the root שנה meaning "to repeat" or "to change." Rendering it as "revolving years" preserves both the plural form and the root idea of cyclical repetition inherent in the concept of a year as a returning cycle. |
