infant
ul denotes a very young child in the Isaiah clauses, while one supplied occurrence is tagged as a preposition.
The noun occurrences describe a very young child: one is held in a mother's compassion comparison, and another marks the brief span of an infant's days. A further supplied occurrence is tagged as a preposition in a clause about taking an orphan from the breast, so its precise contribution cannot be isolated from the translation.

In Isaiah 49:15, the masculine singular construct form occurs in the question of whether a woman can forget the child she nurses; the APB renders the clause "Can a woman forget her nursing child." In Isaiah 65:20, the same supplied noun form appears in the statement that there will no longer be "an infant of days," contrasting an infant's short days with a person reaching a hundred years.

Prepositional occurrence in an orphan-taking clause · occasional
In Job 24:9, the supplied surface form is tagged as a preposition, not as a noun. It occurs in the clause about snatching an orphan from the breast; the APB renders, "They snatch the orphan from the breast," but does not make this form's particular contribution clear.
In the Anselm Project Bible: For the noun occurrences, the APB presents the surrounding clauses with "nursing child" in Isaiah 49:15 and "an infant of days" in Isaiah 65:20. In Job 24:9, the translation gives the whole orphan-taking clause, but its whole-verse wording leaves the tagged preposition's contribution unclear.
