the foremost one
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular absolute with definite article; functioning substantivally as "the first/foremost one." |
| Rendering Rationale | The definite masculine singular adjective denotes what is at the head or beginning in time, order, or rank. "Foremost one" preserves the root sense of headship and precedence while reflecting its substantival use. |
