generations
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.

SIBI-P1 Translation H1755-06
generational cycles
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural absolute from דּוֹר. |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural masculine absolute form denotes multiple recurring life-periods or age-groups. "Generational cycles" preserves both the temporal sense of successive generations and the root idea of recurring cycles. |

generations
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'Generational cycles' in P1 is less idiomatic and does not correctly convey the simple plural 'generations' preferable in context. |
