Adamic Code: Difference between revisions

* The field [[w:Word stem|stem]], consisting on the arrangement consonants ('''''/''''') and vowels ('''''-''''') in a predefined order inside the root-pattern fields. Its primary morphological marker are the '''patterns''', which are either modifications of the root structure or the addition of [[w:Transfix|transfixes]] into the triliterate form, also responsible for the [[w:Noun|nouns]] (edenic, prediluvian, and postdiluvian), [[w:Apposition|appositions]] ([[w:Adjective|adjectives]], [[w:Incorporation (linguistics)|incorporations]], [[w:Adverb|adverbs]], [[w:Expression (linguistics)|expressions]], [[w:Prefix|prefixes]], and [[w:Adposition|postpositions]]), and [[w:Verb|verbs]] ([[w:Finite verb|finite verbs]] and [[w:Nonfinite verb|infinite verbs]]) of the language.

morphological and semantic functions. It is composed of consonants aligned in no particular order outside etymological and analogical significance, designed to be named after already existing words which may happen to be properly represented by the arrangement of sounds.

Considering the 24 consonants of the Adamic Code, there are in total 13.824 roots in the language. The same roots that may carry a variety of meanings and interpretations; each one susceptible to be overriden by a newer tendence, not so different than the effects so recurrent in natural languages. Nevertheless, Adamic, as a [[Paleolithic Code]], is more conservative than modern dialects in many aspects, and semantic change can take thousands of years before causing significant impact in communication.

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 0:''' Consonants are counted as first-class members, then vowels as second-class (except sounds akin to /a/), and finally semivowels as third-class members. All members being susceptible to be substituted by equivalent sounds.

: Example 1: ''m'' and ''n'' can be achieved through nasal consonants. Therefore /ŋ/ > ''n''.

: Example 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''.

: Example 3: ''r'' and ''l'' can be achieved through liquid consonants, even if secondary characteristics are present. Therefore /ɾ/ > ''r'', and /ʎ/ > ''l''.

: Example 4: ''h'' and ''q'' in special can be achieved through laryngeals, with a treatment of ''q'' as voiced. Therefore /ħ/ > ''h'', and /ʁ/ > ''q''.

: Example 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. On the other hand, if vowels such as /i/, /e/, /u/, /o/, and /a/ are considered, such sounds are represented by ''s'', ''z'', ''f'', ''v'', and ''’'' respectively.

*'''Rule 1 (1 syllable):''' The first and last members take the initial and final positions, the first member in between them is the medial one, and if there is none, it will be a glottal stop.

: Example 1: ''Planck'' yields ''-p-l-k-'' "quantum mechanics".

: Example 2: ''Grimm'' yields ''-g-r-m-'' and not ''-g-s-m'' for "folklore", as /r/ is counted before /ɪ/ in both priority and sequence.

: Example 3: ''Gauss'' yields ''-g-v-s-'' and not ''-g-’-s-'' for "mathematics", as /a/ has less priority than the semivowel /w/.

*'''Rule 2 (2 syllables):''' The first three members are counted to assume their respective positions, except those members that act as closed codas in a consonant cluster.

: Example 1: ''Plátōn'' yields ''-p-l-t-'' and not ''-p-l-n-'' or ''-p-t-n-'' for "metaphysics".

: Example 2: ''Caesar'' yields ''-k-s-r-'' for "political/militar might".

: Example 3: ''Darwin'' yields ''-d-v-n-'' and not ''-d-r-v-'' or ''-d-r-n-'' for "biology", because /ɹ/ acts as a closed coda in the consonant cluster /ɹw/.  

*'''Rule 3 (3 or more syllables):''' Each first member of the first three syllables takes its respective position.
