αἰῶνας
aiṓn
A segment, period, or span of time; in contexts, a specific era, epoch, or prescribed age, often with distinctive character or significance. αἰών can refer both to a finite lifetime, a historical period (such as a generation or age), or, more abstractly, to the totality of temporal existence ('world-age'). In some contexts, it can imply an ongoing perpetuity or a time of indefinite duration, and by extension, the world order or cosmos as structured within a given age.

ages
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative masculine plural (Gr,N,,,,,AMP): direct object form, referring to multiple ages or epochs. |
| Rendering Rationale | The accusative masculine plural form denotes multiple spans or epochs of time. "Ages" preserves the core sense of distinct periods or world-ages without importing contextual nuances such as eternity. |
