SIBI-P1 Translation G4413-09
the foremost one
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, nominative masculine singular; superlative form functioning substantivally ("the foremost one"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The superlative stem πρωτ- denotes one who stands before all others in time, order, or rank. The nominative masculine singular form is rendered substantivally as "the foremost one," preserving its adjectival-superlative force while reflecting its singular masculine nominative morphology. |
