cycles of years
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, feminine plural, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The feminine plural absolute form denotes multiple annual units. Rendering as "cycles of years" preserves the plural morphology and reflects the root idea of repetition underlying the concept of a year as a recurring seasonal cycle. |
