leading-one
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,NMS — noun, nominative case, masculine gender, singular number; functioning typically as the subject of a clause or a predicate nominative. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from ἡγέομαι (“to lead, guide, go before”), so “leading-one” preserves the verbal root idea of going before others as a guide or ruler. The nominative masculine singular form is reflected by the singular personal designation “one,” indicating a single male leader functioning as the subject. |
