: EX.1: ''m'' and ''n'' can be achieved through nasal consonants. Therefore /ŋ/ > ''n''.

: EX.2: ''p'', ''b'', ''p''', ''b''', ''t'', ''d'', ''t''', ''d''', ''k'', ''g'', ''k''', and ''g''' can be achieved through plosives, even if secondary characteristics are present. Therefore /pʰ/ > p', but /ɸ/ > f.
: EX.2: ''p'', ''b'', ''p’'', ''b’'', ''t'', ''d'', ''t’'', ''d’'', ''k'', ''g'', ''k’'', and ''g’'' can be achieved through plosives, even if secondary characteristics are present. Therefore /pʰ/ > ''p’'', but /ɸ/ > ''f''.
: EX.3: r /r/ and /l/ can be achieved through liquid consonants, even when with secondary characteristics. Therefore /ɾ/ > r, and /ʎ/ > l.
: EX.3: ''r'' and ''l'' can be achieved through liquid consonants, even if secondary characteristics are present. Therefore /ɾ/ > ''r'', and /ʎ/ > ''l''.
: EX.4: h /h/ and q /kʷ~χ/ in special can be achieved through laryngeals, with a treatment of q as voiced. Therefore /ħ/ > h, and /ʕ/ > q.
: EX.4: ''h'' and ''q'' in special can be achieved through laryngeals, with a treatment of q as voiced. Therefore /ħ/ > ''h'', and /ʕ/ > ''q''.
: EX.5: As there is no /j/ and /w/ in the Adamic Code (except as grammatical semivowels), those sounds become /z/ and /v/ if relevantly voiced.
: EX.5: As there is no /j/ and /w/ in the Adamic Code (except as grammatical semivowels), those sounds become ''z'' and ''v'' if relevantly voiced. On the other hand, if vowels such as /i/, /e/, /u/ and /o/ are considered, such sounds are represented by ''s'', ''z'', ''f'', and ''v'' respectively.
*'''Rule 2:''' Glottal stops and the first members of a consonant cluster as open coda aren’t considered consonants in the counting, except when Rule 3.
*'''Rule 2:''' Glottal stops and the first members of a consonant cluster as open coda aren’t considered consonants in the counting, except when Rule 3.
: Ex: -d-v-n- and not -d-r-n- from Darwin, because the closed coda /ɹ/ precedes the open coda /w/.
: Ex: ''-d-v-n-'' and not ''-d-r-n-'' from ''Darwin'', because the closed coda /ɹ/ precedes the open coda /w/.
*'''Rule 3 (1-2 syllables):''' The first and last consonants take the initial and final positions, the first consonant in between them is the medial one, and if there is none, it will be a glottal stop.

*'''Rule 4 (3 or more syllables):''' Each first consonant of the first three onsets/open codas takes its respective position.
