===Triptote Formula===

The Triptote Formula is often secluded to articles and pronouns, which are inflect by case, number, definition and/or gender :

*three numbers: [[w:Singular number|singular]], [[w:Dual number|dual]], and [[w:Plural number|plural]].

*three referentialities: [[w:Article (grammar)#Definite article|definite]], [[w:Article (grammar)#Indefinite article|indefinite]], and [[w:Article (grammar)#Partitive article|nomic]].

*two genders: [[w:Feminine gender|feminine]] and [[w:Masculine gender|masculine]].

Case, number, and gender are ubiquitous while definition is dropped in pronouns. The result is 108 permutations known to reduce grammatical functions thanks to a trio of particles (''i'', ''u'', and ''a'') specialized in capturing meaning. Vide:

: ''-i̯'' (dative) [Pangaean] ⇒ ''_i'' (dative) [Adamic]

: ∅ (nominative) [Pangaean] ⇒ ''_u'' (nominative) [Adamic]

: ''-ʔ'' (accusative) [Pangaean] ⇒ ''_a'' (accusative) [Adamic]

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. Vide:

: ''_iru'' (definite article) ⇒ ''avâla iru'' "the person" (nominative)

: ''_nu'' (1st-person) ⇒ ''anu'' "I" (nominative)

When opposite functions are wished, on the other hand, one has solely to invert the empty space:

: ''iru_'' (definite article) ⇒ ''iru avâla'' "it's the person" (copulative)

: ''nu_'' (1st-person) ⇒ ''nua'' "it's me" (copulative)

Regarding the demarcations of gender and number, the singular, dual, and plural in the masculine are prototypically represented by ''-u'', ''-au'', and ''-ū'', whereas in the feminine by ''-i'', ''-ai'', and ''-ī'', with the plural demarcation actually behaving as ''V̄'' (depending on other terms to define a vowel). The masculine, in special, can often be left unmarked in the singular (∅).

Gender, contrary to last terms, functions 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", "fire", and "clouds", masculine. Other correspondences clearly extend to objects such as domestic items and abstract phenomena, respectively.
