Highest One
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular adjective, absolute state; functions adjectivally or substantively. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective denotes one who is highest or uppermost, derived from the root meaning "to ascend" or "be high." Rendered substantively in masculine singular, "Highest One" preserves both the adjectival force and its common use as a title. |
