In Nm 24:20 we have (DY, a variant of (D: in some way we could say that
this is the plural construct of the basic (D (until, up to).
But in Ecc 4:3 we find (DN, hitherto, still, which is usually taken for a
variant of (D as well.

Regarding the final N of this word, what would this N be?

It does not seem to be in any relation with the -N suffix of the plural
feminine (look for instance at 1Sa 20:3: MUTFN)
