The '''Plural''' is formed by the prefix '''oph-''' (< Adāta "opha", many), which becomes '''ov-''' before voiced stops or fricatives and '''of-''' before voiceless stops, fricatives and nasals. Additionally, long vowels are shortened because stress shifts to the initial syllable. Remember also that aspirated initial consonants are spoken without aspiration as soon as the prefix is added. | The '''Plural''' is formed by the prefix '''oph-''' (< Adāta "opha", many), which becomes '''ov-''' before voiced stops or fricatives and '''of-''' before voiceless stops, fricatives and nasals.

Æðadĕ [ˈæ.ða.də] is, just like Ayasth and Aθáta, a descendant of the earlier Adāta language developed by Deiniol Jones (aka Dewrad). It was created for the "Derivation Relay" in August 2006 at the zompist board.

The Plural is formed by the prefix oph- (< Adāta "opha", many), which becomes ov- before voiced stops or fricatives and of- before voiceless stops, fricatives and nasals. Additionally, long vowels are shortened because stress shifts to the initial syllable. Remember also that aspirated initial consonants are spoken without aspiration as soon as the prefix is added.
Examples: * thālo moon, ofthalo moons
- ðjesk king, ovðjesk kings
