Prim'ta

The Prim'ta was the ceremony of implanting a larval Goa'uld in a young Jaffa. Prim'ta was also the word that reffered to the larval Goa'uld itself. The ceremony marked a Jaffa's coming of age, and the begining of their warrior training. It was also they way the Goa'uld insured that the Jaffa were forever tied to them, as the prim'ta effectively functioned as the Jaffa's immune system.
