Adamic Code: Difference between revisions

Line 305:

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:

*'''Rule 0:''' ~~Vowels~~ are ~~disregarded~~ (except ~~when Rule 3~~), and ~~consonants are~~ substituted by ~~their equivalents~~.

*'''Rule 0:''' Consonants are counted as first-class members, then vvowels as second-class (except sounds akin to /a/), and finally semivowels as third-class members. All members being susceptible to be substituted by equivalent sounds.

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

: Example 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''.

: Example 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'' and ''l'' can be achieved through liquid consonants, even if secondary characteristics are present. Therefore /ɾ/ > ''r'', and /ʎ/ > ''l''.

: Example 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'' and ''q'' in special can be achieved through laryngeals, with a treatment of ''q'' as voiced. Therefore /ħ/ > ''h'', and /ʁ/ > ''q''.

: Example 4: ''h'' and ''q'' in special can be achieved through laryngeals, with a treatment of ''q'' as voiced. Therefore /ħ/ > ''h'', and /ʁ/ > ''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. On the other hand, if vowels such as /i/, /e/, /u/, /o/, and /a/ are considered, such sounds are represented by ''s'', ''z'', ''f'', ''v'', and ''’'' respectively.

: Example 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/, /o/, and /a/ are considered, such sounds are represented by ''s'', ''z'', ''f'', ''v'', and ''’'' respectively.

*'''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 1 (1 syllable):''' The first and last members take the initial and final positions, the first member in between them is the medial one, and if there is none, it will be a glottal stop.

: EX: ''Planck'' yields ''-p-l-k'' "Quantum Mechanics".

: Example 1: ''Planck'' yields ''-p-l-k-'' "Quantum Mechanics".

*'''Rule 2 (3 or more syllables):''' Each first consonant of the first three onsets/open codas takes its respective position.

: Example 2: ''Grimm'' yields ''-g-r-m-'' and not ''-g-s-m'' for "Folklore", as /r/ is counted before /ɪ/.

: Example 3: ''Gauss'' yields ''-g-v-s-'' and not ''-g-’-s'' for "Mathematics", as /a/ has less priority than the semivowel /w/.

*'''Rule 2 (2 syllables):'''

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