the Exalted One
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic adjective, masculine singular, determined state (definite), functioning as a substantive epithet. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective derives from the root meaning "to be high, ascend," and in masculine singular determined form it denotes a specific, supreme figure. "The Exalted One" preserves both the height imagery of the root and the definite, singular morphology. |
