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.

====Replication====


By directly extending the stem through [[w:Reduplication|repetition]], affixes determine its measurements and quantities.

Stems may be [[w:Reduplication|replicated]] entirely, producing a semantic continuum responsible for conveying the idea of repetitive and cyclical phenomena. Two stems often stand for the repetitive sense (e.g. ), whereas three (e.g. ) for the cyclical one.
Stems may be replicated ('''X ⇒ XX''') entirely, producing a semantic continuum responsible for conveying the idea of repetitive and cyclical phenomena. Two stems often stand for the repetitive sense (e.g. ), whereas three (e.g. ) for the cyclical one.
