People read letters around words

The article here shows that people read the shape of words. Psychologists call this the Bouma shape.

The second paragraph after ‘Figure 5: Saccadic eye movements’ also shows that people read the letters either side of words, and this works particularly well with Adamic, because in Adamic, the start and end of words are sometimes merged.

Together, these things make it possible for people to recognise Adamic, including in the Adamic alphabet.
