youth
no.ar denotes the early period of life, whether regained, cut short, or marking the start of a servant’s treatment.
The attested use denotes the early period of life: it marks restored vitality, death at that stage, and the beginning point from which a servant is pampered; Psalm 88:16 contains the same singular noun form, though the supplied APB wording does not make its contribution visible.

In Job 33:25 the APB renders the surrounding statement, “His flesh is made fresh from youth; he returns to the days of his youth,” locating renewed flesh in an earlier stage of life. Job 36:14 places death “in youth,” and Proverbs 29:21 sets a servant’s pampering “from youth”; Psalm 88:16 has the same common masculine singular absolute noun form, but the supplied APB rendering does not display a corresponding English phrase.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “youth” in Job 33:25, Job 36:14, and Proverbs 29:21. In Psalm 88:16, its supplied wording does not visibly reflect the noun, so the translation cannot isolate the term’s contribution there.
