עוֹלָ֖ם
𐤏𐤅𐤋𐤌
ʻôwlâm
eternal
A duration of time that is indefinitely long, either extending into the remote past, the indefinite future, or characterized by unending perpetuity; in some contexts, refers to ancient times, remote antiquity, or an ongoing period. Rarely, may denote a persistent status that endures for generations or ages. The term does not necessarily imply absolute, metaphysical eternity as later conceived, but rather a temporal span beyond clear human perception or memory.

hidden age
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular, absolute state. |
