• Audiogram — A graphic representation of an individual's hearing capacity, obtained through an audiometric test, which indicates the minimum threshold of sound perception across various frequencies for each ear. The chart correlates sound intensity in decibels with wave frequency in Hertz, serving as the core clinical tool to diagnose hearing loss.
• Self-determination — The act of self-determining and its result; a fundamental pillar of public international law proclaiming the freedom of a people to decide their own political and state organization. In cognitive psychology, it represents a theory of human motivation focused on the importance of autonomy, competence, and relatedness in personality development.
• Auxanogram — The graphic, diagrammatic result or microbiological culture obtained from an auxanogram test; an experimental method used to determine the nutritional capacity and identity of certain microorganisms (especially yeasts or fungi) by testing their growth on nutrient-deficient media to which specific carbon or nitrogen sources are added locally.
• Aver — A minor international toponym designating various rural localities or micro-regions in Europe and America; additionally, in old European cartographic documents, the name may appear as an archaic or partial graphic variant for watercourses and mountain settlements. From an onomastic perspective, its structure is simple, appreciated in administrative gazetteers for its localized historical value.
• Authentic (archaic) — An archaic, regional form or old phonetic variant of the modern adjective 'autentic' (authentic). Originating from the Greek 'avthentikos' through the Slavonic language in medieval religious and administrative texts of the Romanian space, the term defines a document, object, or testimony whose veracity, originality, and authority are unquestionable, without being altered by falsification.
• Autonomous (archaic) — An archaic, regional form or old phonetic variant of the modern adjective 'autonom' (autonomous). Having entered the Romanian language in the 18th-19th centuries through Greek (avtonomos) or Slavonic channels, the term defines a political, administrative, ecclesiastical entity, or a person enjoying partial or total independence, having the right to self-govern by its own laws, without external interference.
• Official notice (corrupted) — A popularly deformed, regional, or archaic form of the modern term 'aviz' (official notice, written notification, technical opinion, or approval issued by an authority). It appeared during the transition period of the Romanian language in the 18th-19th centuries through the imperfect assimilation of Romance-French neologisms in chancellery documents.
• Axinte Uricariul — A prominent historical figure from Moldavia in the first half of the 18th century, chancellor, charter copyist, and renowned chronicler. He remained deeply known in Romanian culture for his laborious activity of collecting, transcribing, and completing old administrative documents (deeds/urice), while also continuing the historical writings of Nicolae Costin and providing unique, refined details about the reigns of the Brâncovenesc and Phanariote eras.
• Azbine — An archaic onomastic form, regional graphic variant, or historical toponym of restricted circulation within the Eastern European or Balkan area, structurally derived from an old stock of proper names or local phonetic adaptations. In old administrative documents, the term served as an individual identity mark or as a microtoponym designating an estate or settlement historically linked to a certain family patronymic line.
• Babas — A historical and regional term of Oriental nature, previously used to designate a respected father, an elderly uncle, or a legal guardian; by extension, it referred to an old, advisory man or the administrator of a small family estate. As an adjective, it describes patriarchal qualities, a protective yet strict behavior, primarily found in judicial charters or archaic testaments in regions under the legal or cultural influence of the Ottoman Empire.
• Bagdat — An old Romanian proper surname or historical toponymic variant, occasionally found in early administrative archives to designate the city of Baghdad or individuals belonging to historical families bearing this name.
