| Semantic Range | first in time, first in sequence, foremost in rank, chief, leading, primary, most important |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, πρῶτος often marks priority in time (the first event), rank (the chief person), or covenantal order (the former things). It can signal preeminence or primacy, shaping theological themes of priority, authority, and fulfillment. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, superlative degree; feminine singular forms. Attested here as nominative feminine singular (NFS) and dative feminine singular (DFS). Functions attributively or substantivally depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | πρῶτος is the superlative form meaning "first" in rank, time, or prominence. The forms provided are feminine singular nominative and dative, so the rendering preserves feminine singular agreement and reflects case by allowing either subject function ("the foremost") or indirect/locative sense ("to/for the foremost") as required by context. |
