A new form (such as 'chorine'), which is based on a traditional form (chorus, chorus-girl), but departs from it in the direction of a series of semantically related forms ('chlorine', 'colleen', 'Pauline', etc., including especially 'actorine'), is said to originate by 'adaptation'. - Bloomfield (1935), a pag.421 After complete 'adaptation', the loan-word is subject to the same analogies as any similar native word. - Bloomfield (1935), a pag.454 Some adaptations are less far-fetched and merely produce a new form which agrees better with semantically related forms. - Bloomfield (1935), a pag.421
