@ Solomon:
I think the point is that time indefinite is not the same as OLAM. As I have
pointed out.
'In' is a prefix meaning no or not.
So in essense what you are saying is that OLAM means no specific time, and
that is not what the word means. It points to long duration, eternal etc.
If it is simply pointing to no specific time, that time could be 15 seconds.
Time indefinite is not a good rendering.
And even if you argue hidden time, that is not the same as indefinite time.
