===Root-Pattern===
===Root-Pattern===


The Root-Pattern is secluded to nouns, verbs, and appositions, which are lexicalized by class, element, density, composition, formality, state, voice, person, mood, number, gender, aspect, effect, and/or amplitude:
One of the most remarkable features of Adamic is its naming prowess by ackowledging a concept into triliteral form (e.g. the root ''-d-v-n-'' denoting "biology/evolution" via the similarity with [[w:Charles Darwin|''Darwin'']]). Most often, names of famous figures (fictional or not) ascribe complex ideas within a 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:


*thirty-six classes: Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 4, Class 5, Class 6, Class 7, Class 8, Class 9, Class 10, Class 11, Class 12, Class 13, Class 14, Class 15, Class 16, Class 17, Class 18, Class 18, Class 19, Class 20, Class 21, Class 22, Class 23, Class 24, Class 25, Class 26, Class 27, Class 28, Class 29, Class 30, Class 31, Class 32, Class 33, Class 34, Class 35, Class 36.
* '''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.


*six elements: solid, current, ethereal, elemental, igneous, and fluid.
: e.g.<sub>1</sub> ''m'' and ''n'' can be achieved through nasal consonants. Therefore /ŋ/ > ''n''.


*two densities: sparse and dense.
: e.g.<sub>2</sub> ''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''.


*three compositions: diffuse, insular, and concentrated.
: e.g.<sub>3</sub> ''r'' and ''l'' can be achieved through liquid consonants, even if secondary characteristics are present. Therefore /ɾ/ > ''r'', and /ʎ/ > ''l''.


*two formalities: informal and formal.
: e.g.<sub>4</sub> ''h'' and ''q'' in special can be achieved through laryngeals, with a treatment of ''q'' as voiced. Therefore /ħ/ > ''h'', and /ʁ/ > ''q''.


*two states: [[w:Absolute construction|absolute]] and [[w:Construct state|construct]].
: e.g.<sub>5</sub> 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.


*six voices: causative, obligative, medio-passive, experimental, active, and passive.
* '''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.


*three persons: [[w:Grammatical person|first]], [[w:Grammatical person|second]] and [[w:Grammatical person|third]].
: e.g.<sub>1</sub> ''Planck'' yields ''-p-l-k-'' "quantum mechanics".


*three moods: [[w:Subjunctive mood|subjunctive]], [[w:Indicative mood|indicative]], and [[w:Jussive mood|jussive]].
: e.g.<sub>2</sub> ''Grimm'' yields ''-g-r-m-'' and not ''-g-s-m'' for "folklore", as /r/ is counted before /ɪ/ in both priority and sequence.


*two numbers: [[w:Singular number|singular]] and [[w:Plural number|plural]].
: e.g.<sub>3</sub> ''Gauss'' yields ''-g-v-s-'' and not ''-g-’-s-'' for "mathematics", as /a/ has less priority than the semivowel /w/.


*two genders: [[w:Feminine gender|feminine]] and [[w:Masculine gender|masculine]].
* '''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.


*two aspects: imperfective and perfective.
: e.g.<sub>1</sub> ''Plátōn'' yields ''-p-l-t-'' and not ''-p-l-n-'' or ''-p-t-n-'' for "metaphysics".


*three effects: modifier, describer, and inscriber.
: e.g.<sub>2</sub> ''Caesar'' yields ''-k-s-r-'' for "political/militar might".


*two amplitudes: local and universal.
: e.g.<sub>3</sub> ''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/.  


Class, element, density, composition, formality, and state are exclusive to nouns; voice, person, mood, number, gender, and aspect to verbs; and effect and amplitude to appositions. There are 2592 permutations to Prediluvian Nouns (<small>CLASS</small>x<small>ELEMENT</small>x<small>DENSITY</small>x<small>COMPOSITION</small>x<small>STATE</small>), 24 permutations to Postdiluvian Nouns (<small>ELEMENT</small>x<small>FORMALITY</small>x<small>STATE</small>), and 2 permutations to Edenic Nouns (<small>STATE</small>); finitive verbs (VOICExPERSONxNUMBERxASPECT)
* ''''Rule 3 (3 or more syllables):''' each first member of the first three syllables takes its respective position.


while definition is dropped in pronouns. The result is 108 permutations known to reduce grammatical functions thanks to a trio of particles (''i'', ''u'', and ''a'') specialized in capturing meaning. Vide:
: e.g.<sub>1</sub> ''Sōkratēs'' yields ''-s-k-t-'' for "philosophy".


====Nouns====
: e.g.<sub>2</sub> ''Aristotélēs'' yields ''-’-r-t-'' for "logic", as every bare initial vowel in a syllable is considered to bear a glottal stop in Adamic.


Nouns in Adamic mostly inflect by state:
: e.g.<sub>3</sub> ''Lavoisier'' yields ''-l-v-z-'' for "chemistry".


* State
Regarding a less specialized lexicon, the rules differ ...


The most important morphemes are by far the roots.
[...]
Roots specifically, due their generative nature (in total there are 13.824 of those), do not justify their semantics with etymology. Rather, the specific arrangement of sounds in each root carries a variety of meanings and interpretations from already existing languages. One of the most remarkable features of Adamic, after all, 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.
: {{ref|3|3}}''qucar'' "sound/speech" [Diluvian] > ''-q-f-l-'' "sound/speech" [Adamic]


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


: e.g.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''.
: ''Sōkratēs'' "Socrates" [Greek] > ''-s-k-t-'' "philosophy" [Adamic]


: e.g.3 ''r'' and ''l'' can be achieved through liquid consonants, even if secondary characteristics are present. Therefore /ɾ/ > ''r'', and /ʎ/ > ''l''.
Another special class of triconsonantal roots is the one containing those influenced by the [[Pangaean Code]]. After Diluvian filters are applied, the medial member of a combination is often reserved to a glottal stop, and if able, ''r'' is added in the third position to mark it as a primordial construction.


: e.g.4 ''h'' and ''q'' in special can be achieved through laryngeals, with a treatment of ''q'' as voiced. Therefore /ħ/ > ''h'', and /ʁ/ > ''q''.
: ''n̠'' "ancientness" [Pangaean] = ''kna'' "ancientness" [Diluvian] > ''-k-’-n-'' "aging" [Adamic]


: e.g.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.
: ''p'' "bearing" [Pangaean] = ''pa'' "bearing" [Diluvian] > ''-p-’-r-'' "bearing" [Adamic]


* '''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.
: ''uħihu'' "animal" [Pangaean] = ''au'' "animal" [Diluvian] > ''-q-h-f-'' "animalism" [Adamic]


: e.g.1 ''Planck'' yields ''-p-l-k-'' "quantum mechanics".
:{{note|3|3}} The process involving the triliteration of Diluvian words is particular. Laryngeals follow the currents /h/ > ''h'', /q/ > ''q'', and /χ/ > ''k’'', and the particle /-t͡səɾ/ is regularly transformed into ''-l-'', to list a few examples.


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


: e.g.3 ''Gauss'' yields ''-g-v-s-'' and not ''-g-’-s-'' for "mathematics", as /a/ has less priority than the semivowel /w/.
Furthermore, roots possess the property of fusion, wherein the possessed element has the first member conserved and the second and third erased, while the possessive element has merely the medial member erased.


* '''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.
: ''-q-h-f-'' "animalism" + ''-p-’-r-'' "bearing" = ''-q-p-r-'' "ensnaring
 
The Adamic Code mostly functions through patterns, or the configuration of vowels into the very structures of consonantal roots. There can be nominal (''-/-/-/-'', ''-/-/-/'', ''/-/-/-'', ''/-//'', ''//-/'',), positional (''/-/'', ''-//'', ''//-'', ''-/-'', ''/--'', ''--/''), verbal (''/-//-'', ''-/-//'', ''-//-/'', ''//-/-'', ''-///-'', ''/-/-/'', ''-/-/'', ''/-/-'').


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


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


: e.g.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.
The Root-Pattern is secluded to nouns, verbs, and appositions, which are lexicalized by class, element, density, composition, classifier, formality, state, voice, person, mood, number, gender, aspect, effect, and/or amplitude:


: e.g.1 ''Sōkratēs'' yields ''-s-k-t-'' for "philosophy".
*thirty-six classes: Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 4, Class 5, Class 6, Class 7, Class 8, Class 9, Class 10, Class 11, Class 12, Class 13, Class 14, Class 15, Class 16, Class 17, Class 18, Class 18, Class 19, Class 20, Class 21, Class 22, Class 23, Class 24, Class 25, Class 26, Class 27, Class 28, Class 29, Class 30, Class 31, Class 32, Class 33, Class 34, Class 35, Class 36.

: e.g.3 ''Lavoisier'' yields ''-l-v-z-'' for "chemistry".
*two densities: sparse and dense.


[...]
*three compositions: diffuse, insular, and concentrated.


*6 classifiers: inanimated inhuman, animated human, diverse, generic, animated human, and animated inhuman.


Semantic Derivation
*two formalities: informal and formal.


Any root may capture any meaning under a string. As an example:
*two states: [[w:Absolute construction|absolute]] and [[w:Construct state|construct]].
