and like years
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + preposition כְ + noun, feminine plural absolute (שָׁנִים). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שָׁנִים is feminine plural absolute, meaning "years" as repeated cycles of time; the prefixed וּ and כְ add "and" and "like/as." The rendering preserves the plural form and the comparative sense while retaining the cyclical time concept inherent in the root. |
