first things
| Morphological Notes | Adjective/determiner, accusative neuter plural (superlative form); functioning substantivally to denote primary or preceding things. |
| Rendering Rationale | The neuter accusative plural form denotes things that are first in time, order, or rank. Rendering it as "first things" preserves both the superlative sense of primacy and the neuter plural morphology. |
