Adamic Code: Difference between revisions

One of the most remarkable features of Adamic is its naming prowess by ackowledging a concept into triliteral form. Within the language, such an attribute is encouraged and never seen as arbitrary, because for every combination, an actual word is always being brought and compared against, so that meaning is never scarce. Most often, names of famous figures (fictional or not) ascribe complex ideas within the sequence of consonants, due their association of feats. The transfiguration of names into a triliteral form may be boundless and informal, or follow a select list of rules for further organization: | One of the most remarkable features of Adamic is its naming prowess by ackowledging a concept into triliteral form.

*'''Rule | |||
*'''Rule | *'''Rule 1 (1-2 syllables):''' The first and last consonants take the initial and final positions (except when Rule 6), the first vowel/consonant in between them is the medial one, and if there is none, it will be a glottal stop. | ||

*'''Rule 2 (3 or more syllables):''' Each first consonant of the first three onsets/open codas takes its respective position. | |||
*'''Rule 0.2:''' Glottal stops and the first members of an intervocalic consonant cluster with closed coda aren’t considered consonants in the counting. | |||
: EX: ''-d-v-n-'' and not ''-d-r-n-'' from ''Darwin'', because the closed coda /ɹ/ precedes the open coda /w/. Compare ''-’-k- | |||
*'''Rule 3:''' If the word starts with a vowel, the first position is a glottal stop. | |||
: EX: ''Euler'' yields ''-’-l-r'' "Mathematics". | |||
*'''Rule 4:''' The two extreme consonants of a consonant cluster are counted when able. | |||
: EX: , but ''Planck'' forms ''-p-n | |||
