αἰῶνα
aiṓn
forever
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.

SIBI-P1 Translation G165-01
an age
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, accusative singular (Gr,N,,,,,AMS): denotes one age/epoch functioning as an object in the sentence. |
| Rendering Rationale | The accusative singular form denotes a single span or epoch of time as an object. "An age" preserves the core sense of a defined period or era without importing later notions of abstract eternity. |
