Goa'uld term for a Goa'uld symbiote in its immature, larval form.
The word "prim'tah" also refers to the ceremony in which a young Jaffa, upon reaching the Age of Prata, is implanted with his or her first larval symbiote. The ceremony us performed by a Jaffa priest, who uses a special tool to create a pouch for the symbiote in the young Jaffa's abdomen. Upon reaching this age, a Jaffa child's normal immune system begins to fail due to the Goa'uld's genetic manipulation of their race, and the child must take a symbiote in order to survive.
