first one
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular, absolute state; ordinal form used adjectivally or substantivally. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term derives from the root meaning "head" or "beginning," denoting what stands at the head in time, order, or rank. As a masculine singular adjective used substantivally, "first one" preserves both its ordinal force and singular masculine form. |
