| Morphological Notes | Adjective, feminine singular, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective derives from the root meaning "head" or "beginning," denoting what is at the head or in first position. The feminine singular absolute form requires a feminine rendering, preserving its adjectival force of precedence or primacy. |
