• All-creating — An archaic variant of spelling and articulation for the term 'atotfăcător'; the one who creates, builds, or fulfills all things in the universe. It frequently appears in 17th-18th century Romanian manuscripts and early church printings, preserving the archaic ending in '-iu' specific to old liturgical styles.
• Autograph — A handwritten signature, short text, or dedication written by a person's own hand (especially a prominent personality from arts, sports, or science), offered as a memento or token of esteem. As an adjective, the term designates a manuscript, document, or letter written entirely by the author themselves, guaranteeing its historical authenticity.
• Avranches — A historical town, commune, and former bishopric in the Manche department, Normandy region, situated in northwestern France. Perched on a strategic hill offering a spectacular panorama over the Mont-Saint-Michel bay, the town is famous in world history for housing the precious medieval manuscripts of the Mont-Saint-Michel abbey, for its role in the reconciliation of King Henry II of England after the murder of Thomas Becket, and for its tactical importance in the Allied military breakthrough during World War II (Operation Cobra).
• Avrutd — An archaic hypercorrect graphic form, corrupted, or paleographic transcription error found in medieval manuscripts for names in the 'Abrud / Avrud' family. It represents a parasitic hybrid consonantal insertion (the 'td' group), specific to the orthographic hesitations of copyists in old chancelleries who tried to render local phonetisms through foreign spellings.
• Author (archaic) — An archaic form or old phonetic variant of the modern masculine noun 'autor' (author; creator of a literary, artistic, or scientific work; initiator of an action). Introduced into the Romanian language during the pre-modern period through Greek or Slavonic channels, the word was commonly used in the prefaces of old books and enlightened manuscripts of the 18th and 19th centuries before the westernized form became widespread.
• Avvad — A rare graphic form, archaic variant, or onomastic derivative of Semitic / biblical origin associated with roots in the 'Abbad / Abba' family, encountered sporadically in old translations of Near Eastern religious texts or as an exotic proper name in medieval charters. It may reflect a special phonetic adaptation or a transcription error of callophonic names borne in Near Eastern ecclesiastical circles.
• Asia — An early graphic form, geographical archaism, or historically tolerated spelling variant in old Romanian manuscripts for the proper noun 'Asia', the Earth's largest and most populous continent. In administrative texts, Cyrillic maps, and chronicles from the 18th and 19th centuries, the term served as a structural spatial localization indicator for Eastern empires and regions, later replaced in academic use by the standardized modern spelling.
• Bacus — An archaic or regional name historically attested for an old silver coin, a commercial token, or a type of symbolic rod utilized in specific medieval rituals or guilds. In a documentary sense, the term appears rarely within old inventories of goods and Transylvanian manuscripts to describe elongated marking objects or low-value exchange units.
• Bahomande — An archaic or rare graphic variant found in old Romanian manuscripts or translations representing a deity, idol, or spiritual entity from the oriental or esoteric pantheon (often correlated or confused in popular demonology with Baphomet-type representations or Asian deities). The term is used in comparative mythology to analyze how foreign religious names were phonetically assimilated in ancient texts.
• Baiazit — A popular graphical and phonetic variant in Romanian for the name of Sultan Baiazid. Featuring the unvoiced ending '-it' instead of the voiced '-id', this form frequently appears in old manuscripts, period chronicle copies, or regional dialects.
• Archaic Bairam — An antiquated graphic and phonetic variant of the noun 'bairam', utilized predominantly in medieval manuscripts within Moldovia and Wallachia to denote major Islamic religious holidays. This transitional linguistic form appears in early Romanian chronicles, preserving a pronunciation aligned with historical Ottoman dialectal elements.
