Adamic is highly [[w:Inflection|inflective]], [[w:Derivation|derivational]], and [[w:Reduplication|reduplicative]], alternating between [[w:Fusional language|fusional]] and [[w:Agglutinative language|agglutivative]] morphologies with an overly [[w:Analytic language|analytic]] [[w:Clause|clause]] [[w:Agreement (linguistics)|agreement]]. Its grammar, highly reminiscent of older Paleolithic Codes, can be summarized by 3 classes of morphemes: | Adamic is highly [[w:Inflection|inflective]], [[w:Derivation|derivational]], and [[w:Reduplication|reduplicative]], alternating between [[w:Fusional language|fusional]] and [[w:Agglutinative language|agglutivative]] morphologies with an overly [[w:Analytic language|analytic]] [[w:Clause|clause]] [[w:Agreement (linguistics)|agreement]].

Regarding the broader formulas with patterns, some remarks can be made. Vowels (-) do not border each other; three consonants (///) will effectively render the medial one a vowel; vowels without a nucleous and/or coda tend to disappear even though relevant; and by all means nouns consist of -/-/-/-, -///-, -/-/-/, /-/-/-, /-//, and //-/; | Regarding the broader formulas with patterns, some remarks can be made.

When Postdiluvian particles are applied, the resultant word denotes a new actor ('''X''') through the relation with the stem's original ('''Y'''). Furthermore, left-bound affixes are active whereas right-ones passive, which helps stems to diverge in semantic content (e.g. ''haûl'' "fire" ⇒ ''mahaûl'' "firewood" / ''haûmma'' "ashes"). This process includes not only nouns, but verbs (e.g. ''úgul'' "to eat" ⇒ ''múgul'' "to be hungry" / ''úgumma'' "to be satisfied"), | When Postdiluvian particles are applied, the resultant word denotes a new actor ('''X''') through the relation with the stem's original ('''Y''').
