To serve their purpose, right-led case particles (''_Vcas'') combine with definition particles (''Vdef'') in the formula ''_VdefVcas'' to generate articles, while pronouns are formed by stacking the former with pronoun roots (''Cpro'') as in ''_CproVcas''. Furthermore, as articles are treated as clitics ~~but~~ pronouns ~~aren't~~, the empty space ''_'' is filled by a nominal unit when an article (otherwise the particle ''a'' ~~fills this role~~ when a pronoun).

To serve their purpose, right-led case particles (''_Vcas'') combine with correlation (''Ccor'') and definition particles (''Vdef'') in the formula ''_VdefCcorVcas'' to generate articles, while pronouns are formed by stacking the former with pronoun roots (''Cpro'') as in ''_CproVcas''.

Regarding the demarcations of gender and number, the singular, dual, and plural in the masculine (''u'') and neuter (''a'') are prototypically represented by ''-u'', ''-au'', and ''-ū'', whereas in the feminine (''i'') by ''-ui'', ''-ai'', and ''-ī'', with the plural demarcation actually behaving as ''V̄'' (depending on other terms to define a vowel). In effect, the conflation of the masculine and neuter with the basic form is explained by the obsolete fusion of the former (''*-uu'') and the fact that the latter can be left unmarked (''-u∅'') to represent ''-ua''.

Gender functions mostly as a dual scheme in Adamic. For every word, it is conceived a pair wherein there are "material" (''i'') and "immaterial" (''u'') members, in such way that a predictable gender system is formed within the language. "Earthly" concepts such as "earth", "water", and "sea" are always feminine, in contrast with "heavenly" terms akin to "sky", "wind", and "clouds", masculine. Other correspondences clearly extend to objects such as domestic items and abstract phenomena, respectively.
