SIBI-P1 Translation G4413-06
the foremost ones
| Morphological Notes | Adjective used substantively; nominative masculine plural (Gr,NS/NP,,,,NMP); superlative form from πρωτ-, functioning as a noun: "the first/foremost (ones)." |
| Rendering Rationale | The nominative masculine plural substantive form indicates a group characterized as those who are first or foremost. "The foremost ones" preserves the superlative sense of primacy in rank or order while reflecting the plural nominative form. |
