last
אַחֲרוֹן refers to that which is behind, at the back, coming later in sequence, or occurring last in order or time. It may denote the latter part or end of a series; someone or something occurring or appearing after others; or, in a directional context, the western side, since ancient Israelites oriented themselves facing east. The primary sense is 'coming after,' with extensions to mean 'last,' 'latter,' 'western,' or 'hindmost.'

aftermost
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Aftermost" preserves the core spatial and sequential sense of being behind or coming after, directly reflecting the adjectival form derived from the root אחר. As a masculine singular absolute adjective, it describes a single entity characterized by being last or at the rear. |
