Adamic is a pro-drop language wherein pronouns may be left out (e.g. ''nā ak’tvú'' vs ''ak’tvú'' "I cut"). They can be inflected by primary and secondary cases (e.g ''ana'' "me", ''anuk'' "with me"), beyond the following affixes:

* ~~The term~~ '''(C)''' ~~refers to~~ feminine ~~constructions~~ with ''ca'' and/or ''’a'' that may aid the feminine marker ''i''. Vide: ''anuci'' "I (f.)", ''anu’a'' "I (f.)", ''anu’ai'' "I (f.)", ''anuca’'' "I (f.)", et cetera.

* '''(C)''': feminine construction with ''ca'' and/or ''’a'' that may aid the feminine marker ''i''. Vide: ''anuci'' "I (f.)", ''anu’a'' "I (f.)", ''anu’ai'' "I (f.)", ''anuca’'' "I (f.)", et cetera.

~~, such as combinations~~ with Diluvian ~~particles:~~ ''~~-’a~~'', ''~~-i’a~~'', ''~~-a’i~~'', ''~~-ica’~~''~~, and~~ ''~~-’aci~~''.

* '''(N)''': plural construction with the Diluvian particle ''nā'' (e.g. ''anu'' "I" and ''anunā'' "we"), which may suffer a variety of deformations, such as being reduced to ''n'' (e.g. ''anūn'' "we") or fused with ''ca'' (e.g. ''anucān'' "we"). The feminine (C) may be included.

* The term '''(N)''' refers to plural constructions with the ~~Diluvian particle ''nā'' (e.g. ''anu'' "I~~ (m~~.)"~~ and ~~''anunā'' "we (~~m.)"), ~~which may suffer a variety of deformations~~, ~~such as being reduced to ''n'' (e~~.g. ~~''anūn'' "we~~ (m.)") ~~or fused with ''ca''~~ (e.g. ''~~anucān~~'' "~~we (m.)~~"~~). The feminine (C) may be included.~~
