Primas is a form of the Latin word for "first", primus, -a, -um. It is the form that is used to modify a feminine plural noun that is the object of a verb or of certain prepositions. For example, in his Metamorphoses the poet Ovid (P. Ovidius Naso) writes of a breakwater

quae primas aequoris undas frangit

"which breaks the first waves of the sea"

where primas modifies the feminine plural noun undas, "waves", the object of the verb frangit, "breaks".
