Do you think that 'adam' has to be an indeclinable name? I can't find
evidence one way or the other that such names were declined. If no
articuloid and no inflexion is to be used, instances of the dative case
where the optional preposition du is applicable would necessarily employ it;
same for other optional prepositions.
