Adjectives (''/-/''), incorporations (''-//''), and prefixes (''/--'') precede nouns, whereas adverbs (''-/-''), expressions (''//-''), and postpositions (''--/'') are right-bound. Also, incorporations may equal to adverbs before consonants, as prefixes may equal to adjectives before vowels. Those two word classes distinguish themselves in Adamic by the fact that incorporations modify nouns while prefixes modify verbs. Vide ''ādūqáfl'' "proto-language" and ''’āmúqul'' "to foretell since the beginning". | Adjectives (''/-/''), incorporations (''-//''), and prefixes (''/--'') precede nouns/verbs, whereas adverbs (''-/-''), expressions (''//-''), and postpositions (''--/'') are right-bound.
