primes1 (s.xii1/3)

[ gdw]

[ FEW: 9,382b primus; Gdf: 6,406b primes; GdfC: ; TL: 7,1853 prim (primes); DEAF:  prim (primes); DMF:  prim (primes); TLF: ; OED: ; MED: ; DMLBS: ]
premes;  primez,  primis,  primus,  primys,  prymes  

In later legal sources, the adverb at times seems to be used nominally with reference to the opening section of a statute or plea, possibly on the basis of the phrase in primis (Latin) / (en) primes (Anglo-Norman). Alternatively, these examples could also be considered as deviant spellings of premisse.
