headfirst
| Morphological Notes | Predicate adjective; nominative masculine singular (Gr,NP,,,,NMS), describing a masculine singular subject in a state of forward-facing orientation. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Headfirst" preserves the core sense of forward-leaning or falling with the face/front downward, reflecting the orientation inherent in πρηνής. As nominative masculine singular, it functions adjectivally to describe a singular masculine subject in this forward-facing or prone state. |
