𐤌/𐤃𐤅𐤓
dôwr
from generation
A period or span of human life, typically denoting a 'generation'—the people living at a particular time, or the duration of their life-cycle. Also denotes the recurring cycle or sequence of generations in human history. Sometimes used with broader reference to the idea of an 'age' or 'epoch,' occasionally extending to mean 'posterity.' In rare cases, a sense related to 'habitation' or 'dwelling' is attested, likely derivative from the primary temporal sense.

from a generation
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") + masculine singular common noun, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דּוֹר denotes a single cycle of human life—a generation—derived from the root idea of revolving or recurring time. The prefixed preposition מִן is preserved as "from," and the singular absolute form is reflected by "a generation." |
