#administrative documents

• Antedating — The act of antedating and its result; the assignment to an official document, contract, legal act, or letter of a date prior to the actual date on which it was drawn up or effectively signed. This structural process may be carried out for the purpose of regularizing retroactive administrative situations or it may represent an illegal alteration of chronology for deceptive purposes.
• Arrestation — An archaic legal term historically used in the Romanian Principalities to denote the act of arresting, detaining, or placing a person under guard; the state of being arrested. In administrative documents, boyar charters, and 19th-century law codes, the word defined the structural measure of liberty deprivation applied to criminals or debtors by local officers.
• Apprehension — The act of arresting or detaining regionally and its result; apprehension, legal arrest, or placement under guard by local authorities. In a historical procedural context, the term represents a rare substantivized long infinitive form used in county legal and administrative documents of past centuries to record the temporary deprivation of liberty of an individual.
• Prison keeper — A lower-ranking public official or officer during the medieval and early modern periods in the Romanian Principalities whose structural task was to execute arrest warrants, guard detainees in princely jails, or supervise apprehended individuals. The term represents an early occupational derivation directly linked to the administration of arrest, gradually replaced in administrative documents of the late 19th century by modern nomenclature.
• Silver-plating — The act of silver-plating and its result; a traditional technological, chemical, or mechanical process through which silver-plating or the coating of a surface with a protective or decorative layer of silver is achieved. In the context of past artisan economies, the term represents a substantivized long infinitive form found in workshop inventories to record metal finishing.
• Silver-plating — A regional, popular, or obsolete variant for the act of silver-plating and its result; the empirical process of coating an object (ornaments, buckles, buttons made of base metal) with a thin layer of silver; silver-plating. In the structural linguistic context of old artisan and domestic documents, it functions as a substantivized long infinitive utilized by rural craftsmen to describe the traditional technique of embellishing metals.
