I know the etymology of the word, that is why I added "in Star Trek".
"Prime" doesn't necessarily refer to the first item, it could refer to the biggest or most important one. The main planet, so to speak.

According to Memory Alpha, Cardassia Prime is the second planet in the system. So I would not translate Prime with {wa'} here. If we don't know the number of a Prime planet, perhaps {yuQ'a'} could be a solution?

From Latin adjective "primus" = "first".
