חָֽלֶד
𐤇𐤋𐤃
cheled
of the world
'Cheled' refers primarily to the span or course of (mortal) life, especially as characterized by its fleeting or transitory nature; by extension, it can indicate the world or age as the sphere of mortal existence, often with an emphasis on the impermanence of earthly life. The semantic range thus covers both the experiential duration of human life and the transient ordered world in which such life occurs.

SIBI-P1 Translation H2465-01
fleeting life-span
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, masculine singular absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | This rendering preserves the core idea of transience embedded in the root ח־ל־ד ('to slip away, be transient') while reflecting the singular masculine noun form. "Life-span" conveys the course of mortal life, and "fleeting" makes explicit the root sense of passing swiftly. |
