In Adamic, the root is liable to be modified by extensions, which cover the border of a stem as either [[w:Prefix|prefixes]] or [[w:Suffix|suffixes]]. Those may be reduplicative or not. | In Adamic, the root is liable to be modified by extensions, which cover the border of a stem as either [[w:Prefix|prefixes]] or [[w:Suffix|suffixes]].
