'Adamtha' is simply the Aramaic cognate of 'Adamah,' which means land/ground.
The name 'Adam' being related to ruddy has to do with its derivation from the land [which can be red].
In Aramaic, Yeshua refers to himself as 'bareh danasha,' in which 'anasha' is related to 'ish' and not 'adam.'
The Aramaic 'dame' has some derivatives which cause have an alef prefix (e.g. in Luke 7:31) and this word means 'liken' (likely that this is whence is suggested portrait for 'adamtha,' though it is impossible).
You are definitely on to something in claiming there's more to it than both meaning man... especially in verses like Numbers 23:19 when they're used in this fashion.
