lofty ones
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine plural, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective derives from the root meaning "to rise, be high, be exalted," and in the masculine plural absolute form describes multiple entities characterized by height or exalted status. "Lofty ones" preserves the core imagery of elevation while allowing both physical and figurative (proud, haughty) senses. |
