Although non-morphemic, long vowels tend to carry a rising pitch when stressed, and a falling pitch when unstressed, in order to further distinguish them from plain vowels. | Although non-morphemic, long vowels tend to carry a rising pitch when stressed, and a falling pitch when unstressed, in order to further distinguish them from plain vowels. | ||

In Adamic, sounds possess the property to transition between consonants and vowels as long as they obey the Coloration Table. More specifically, depending on which class a consonant pertains (mostly divided as guttural, labial, or dental) and whether it is voiced or not, a respective vowel may take its place in certain morphological processes. The member ''f'' of ''-m-f-r-'' "death", for example, becomes ''u'' in ''mur'' "dead"; meanwhile, the member ''v'' in ''-d-v-n-'' "biology" accompanies the realization of ''dūn'' "biological". | |||
