===Triconsonantal Root=== | ===Triconsonantal Root=== | ||
Adamic utilizes the the [[w:Semitic root|triliterate segment]] ''///'' for a variety of morphological and semantic functions. It is composed of consonants aligned in no particular order outside etymological and analogical significance, designed to be named after already existing words which may happen to be properly represented by the arrangement of sounds. | Adamic utilizes the the [[w:Semitic root|triliterate segment]] ''///'' for a variety of morphological and semantic functions.

====Triliteration==== | |||
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.

Furthermore, such roots possess the property of fusion, wherein the possessed element has the first member conserved and the second and third erased, while the possessive element has merely the medial member erased. | |||
: ''-q-h-f-'' "animalism" + ''-p-’-r-'' "bearing" = ''-q-p-r-'' "ensnaring" | |||
====Postdiluvian Root==== | |||
Any root , the following word is captured by the string: | |||
: {{ref|3|3}}''qucar'' "sound/speech" [Diluvian] > ''-q-f-l-'' "sound/speech" [Adamic] | |||
The [[Diluvian Code]], as one of main sources for the creolization resulting in the Adamic Code, yields a diverse list of lemmas for the basic vocabulary of the language. It is only natural therefore that the utterance /ˈqût͡səɾ/ influences the sequence /-ɦ-f-l-/, containing approximate sounds. However, such inspirations extend far beyond the basic vocabulary, and are not limited to a single language: | |||
: ''Sōkratēs'' "Socrates" [Greek] > ''-s-k-t-'' "philosophy" [Adamic] | |||
Another special class of triconsonantal roots is the one containing those influenced by the [[Pangaean Code]]. After Diluvian filters are applied, the medial member of a combination is often reserved to a glottal stop, and if able, ''r'' is added in the third position to mark it as a primordial construction. | Another special class of triconsonantal roots is the one containing those influenced by the [[Pangaean Code]].

Considering the 24 consonants of the Adamic Code, there are in total 13.824 roots in the language. The same roots that may carry a variety of meanings and interpretations; each one susceptible to be overriden by a newer tendence, not so different than the effects so recurrent in natural languages. Nevertheless, Adamic, as a [[Paleolithic Code]], is more conservative than modern dialects in many aspects, and semantic change can take thousands of years before causing significant impact in communication. | Considering the 24 consonants of the Adamic Code, there are in total 13.824 roots in the language.
