secondaries
Not the main ones
Secondaries are things that rank second in importance, order, or sequence.
In biology, secondaries are the flight feathers on a bird's inner wing.
In American football, the secondary is the defensive backfield—cornerbacks and safeties who cover receivers: The quarterback picked apart their secondaries all season.
In finance, secondaries are shares traded after initial public offering.
