1. Generation (people of an era / lineage period) — A group of contemporaries living in the same era, or the span of time constituting one generational period in a genealogical succession. The two clusters (40x and 3x) show identical semantic content differing only in case/number inflection. Translations are fully consistent: Spanish 'generación/generaciones,' Hindi 'पीढ़ी/पीढ़ियों' (generation/generations), Arabic 'جِيل' (generation — same root in both clusters), Korean '세대/세대들' (generation/generations), Swahili 'kizazi/vizazi' (generation/generations, ki-/vi- noun class pair). Jesus frequently addresses 'this generation' as morally deficient (Matt 11:16, 12:39, Mark 8:12, Luke 11:29), while genealogical uses track lineage periods (Matt 1:17). Both clusters serve this single unified concept across all 43 occurrences. 43×
