Primes and Primitive Divisors in EDS
It is conjectured that a nonsingular EDS contains only finitely many primes However, all but finitely many terms in a nonsingular EDS admit a primitive prime divisor. Thus for all but finitely many n, there is a prime p such that p divides Wn, but p does not divide Wm for all m < n. This statement is an analogue of Zsigmondy's theorem.

“The most primitive places left with us are the swamps, where the spruce still grows shaggy with usnea.”
