I was mainly curious because a friend of mine insinuated that primals are at least common knowledge across the lands considering tribes can be outside the steppe, primals could even come over the steppe maybe?(assuming there's more primals out there that wouldn't just be irregularly summoned like Susano was). If people of Doma at least had some concept of them as Kami, Garleans as Eikons, Eorzeans as Primals.... I questioned if Xaela even have a take, regardless if they fear or worship them as to just "what" they are or are perceived as through their tribes. I'm sure some tribes like the Kha that travel and learn culture through other lands take on the names too, so they could easily incorporate existing terminology just through travel alone. However the au ra we've seen so far(not counting Mide... which now that I type this, I should look through Alexander's questline to see if she calls them any different) have mostly only been in the steppe alone as if they have little to do with other lands at all, let alone worrying about powers across a continent or an accidental summoning in the Ruby Sea.
Even if the Xaela themselves don't rely on higher powers, I was overall curious if they'd named them or had any terms for unknown deities they don't care about. I guess in short the answer for this one is one of those "we have yet to find out just yet" so its still up in the air?
EDIT: After digging through Alexander quests and reading Mide's dialogue alone, she does refer to it as a primal but only a bit further into the questline after she's heard it multiple times prior. So that may just imply she's been places considering she's a treasure hunter and picked up on the title for it along with whoever else did. However prior she often refers to it as a giant or something depicting what it looks like for metaphors, walking castle, utopia of scholars, etc.. So my best bet atm for Au Ra tribes if they ever saw a primal first hand would be to just describe it according to what it looks to be. Titan a golem, Levi a serpent, or an element + an animal they may know of. Until otherwise adopting whatever someone else describes/names them as, Kami could be the most likely with the steppe neighboring the lands that use the term. Or just using a title in the context with whoever talks about them first as to what they call them.
