The [[Diluvian Code]], as one of main sources for the creolization resulting in the Adamic Code, yields a diverse list of lemmas for the basic vocabulary of the language. It is only natural therefore that the utterance [ˈqût͡səɾ] influences the sequence [-ɦ-f-l-], containing approximate sounds. However, such inspirations extend far beyond the basic vocabulary, and are not limited to a single language: | The [[Diluvian Code]], as one of main sources for the creolization resulting in the Adamic Code, yields a diverse list of lemmas for the basic vocabulary of the language.

One of the most remarkable features of Adamic is its naming prowess by ackowledging a concept into triliteral form. Within the language, such an attribute is encouraged and never seen as arbitrary, because for every combination, an actual word is always being brought and compared against, so that meaning is never scarce. Most often names of famous figures | One of the most remarkable features of Adamic is its naming prowess by ackowledging a concept into triliteral form. Within the language, such an attribute is encouraged and never seen as arbitrary, because for every combination, an actual word is always being brought and compared against, so that meaning is never scarce. Most often, names of famous figures (fictional or not) ascribe complex ideas within the sequence of consonants, due their association of feats. The transfiguration of names into a triliteral form may be boundless and informal, or follow a select list of rules for further organization: | ||
*'''Rule 1:''' Vowels are disregarded (except when Rule 3), and consonants are substituted by their equivalents. | |||
: EX.1: ''m'' and ''n'' can be achieved through nasal consonants. Therefore /ŋ/ > ''n''. | |||
: EX.2: ''p'', ''b'', ''p''', ''b''', ''t'', ''d'', ''t''', ''d''', ''k'', ''g'', ''k''', and ''g''' can be achieved through plosives, even if secondary characteristics are present. Therefore /pʰ/ > p', but /ɸ/ > f. | |||
: EX.3: r /r/ and /l/ can be achieved through liquid consonants, even when with secondary characteristics. Therefore /ɾ/ > r, and /ʎ/ > l. | |||
: EX.4: h /h/ and q /kʷ~χ/ in special can be achieved through laryngeals, with a treatment of q as voiced. Therefore /ħ/ > h, and /ʕ/ > q. | |||
: EX.5: As there is no /j/ and /w/ in the Adamic Code (except as grammatical semivowels), those sounds become /z/ and /v/ if relevantly voiced. | |||
*'''Rule 2:''' Glottal stops and the first members of a consonant cluster as open coda aren’t considered consonants in the counting, except when Rule 3. | |||
: Ex: -d-v-n- and not -d-r-n- from Darwin, because the closed coda /ɹ/ precedes the open coda /w/. | |||
*'''Rule 3 (1-2 syllables):''' The first and last consonants take the initial and final positions, the first consonant in between them is the medial one, and if there is none, it will be a glottal stop. | |||
*'''Rule 4 (3 or more syllables):''' Each first consonant of the first three onsets/open codas takes its respective position. | |||
*'''Rule 5:''' If the word starts with a vowel, the first position is a glottal stop. | |||
*'''Rule 6:''' The two extreme consonants of a consonant cluster are counted when able. This rule does not apply to monossylabic words. | |||
