Pronunciation: AYE-dam [<IMG SRC="../graphics/soundbut.gif">|../sounds/adam.wav]

A ''%%ot [ter'angreal|Angreal]%%'' consisting of a necklace and one or more bracelets. The bracelets may be connected to the necklace by a cord. The ''a'dam'' allows the wearer of the bracelet to control the wearer of the necklace. The ''a'dam'' prevents ''[damane|Seanchan]'' from linking to form circles.
