There are a few single word strings that are hard to translate without context.
Maybe we could use i18n with context hint to make this a little easier:

koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/modules/opac-serial-issues.tt:124
for

koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/modules/opac-reserve.tt:448
at

Actually the latter highlights a case, where the spans might have a negative
effect as they break the sentence apart into small bits:
https://git.koha-community.org/Koha-community/Koha/src/branch/22.05.x/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/modules/opac-reserve.tt#L440

It's something like:

[Waiting|On hold] for patron X [at|expected at] X [since X]

The main problem here is, that these small bits can translate differently (at
least in German) depending on context. In general it's quite bad to build up
sentences like this as you don't know if the English grammar will fit any other
languages.
