Hi, Haim, thank you for your question! HCM-RDA instructs us to use Rav-milim in cases where terms are not found in E-Sh. Looking there, the word is vocalized עַלְאָדָם (with a variant for a hyphenated form, עַל-אָדָם). Since your version is a single word, you'd have the special characters for both the 'ayin at the beginning of the word and for the alef in the middle of the word --> ṿe-ʻalʼadam.
Please let me know if there are further questions.
