SIBI-P1 G4312-01
the headlong-falling ones
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, nominative masculine plural (Gr,NS,,,,NMP,); functioning substantively to describe a group characterized by this quality. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the compound imagery of πρό (forward) and πίπτω (to fall), conveying the sense of those who 'fall forward' impulsively. As a nominative masculine plural adjective used substantively, it is rendered as 'the ... ones,' reflecting its plural masculine subject form. |
