the foremost ones

Morphological NotesAdjective used substantively; nominative masculine plural (Gr,NS/NP,,,,NMP); superlative form from πρωτ-, functioning as a noun: "the first/foremost (ones)."
Rendering RationaleThe 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.
