Regarding a less specialized vocabulary, the rules differ. The [[Diluvian Code]], for one, is the main source of the Adamic lexicon, yielding a diverse list of lemmas for the basic vocabulary of the language; lemmas which are straightforward adaptations of its words.


: ''hocar'' "fire" [Diluvian] > ''-h-v-l-'' "fire" [Adamic].


: ''qucar'' "sound/speech" [Diluvian] > ''-q-f-l-'' "sound/speech" [Adamic].


: ''yammuhar'' "sea" [Diluvian] > ''-m-f-h-'' "sea" [Adamic].


In the sample above, the process involving the triliteration of Diluvian words is particular. Besides basic sound changes, such as the laryngeal following the currents /h/ > /h/ and /ħ/ > /ɦ/ (not /h/ in this case), or the particle /-t͡səɾ/ regularly transforming into /-l-/, it is noticeable that vowels are not treated discriminately, but are counted in order as much as consonants; instead, secondary  particles such as the ''ya-'' and ''-(c)ar'' in ''yammuhar'' are counted last.

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


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.
