the farthest ones
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, nominative masculine plural (superlative form), functioning substantivally or as a predicate adjective. |
| Rendering Rationale | The superlative adjective denotes those at the extreme end—spatially, temporally, or in rank. The nominative masculine plural form is preserved by rendering it as a plural substantive, "the farthest ones." |
