#old variant

• Acadia — An atypical, hypercorrect, or erroneous spelling variant of the historical toponym 'Acadia' (a colonial region in eastern Canada and northern Maine). In older Romanian texts, the double 'i' spelling occasionally reflected an attempt to faithfully render the phonetics of the final hiatus during articulation or an early adaptation of the name from Cyrillic sources. In modern linguistic context, this form is considered a departure from the official literary standard, with 'Acadia' being the exclusively accepted term for designating that early francophone province.
• Archaic statement — An archaic and bookish variant of the noun 'afirmație', primarily used in 19th-century and early 20th-century legal, administrative, and philosophical literature to designate a categorical assertion or official statement. It is currently obsolete, serving only a stylistic role.
• Agglomeration — An obsolete and literary variant of the noun 'aglomerație', primarily used in administrative, legal, or literary texts from the 19th and early 20th centuries. It retains the exact same meanings related to the concentration of population, buildings, or objects within a bounded space.
• Agglutination — An obsolete, archaic, and literary variant of the noun 'aglutinare', found in scientific, philological, or medical texts from the 19th century. It denotes the exact same phenomenon of structural union, welding, or binding of morphemes or biological cells into a compact whole.
• Agnation — An obsolete and literary variant of the noun 'agnație', used historically in legal treatises and old translations of civil law or Roman history. It denotes the relationship of civil kinship based exclusively on descent along the male line from a common ancestor under the authority of the same pater familias.
• Native gold variant — An old rare regionalism or archaism occasionally used in the past within mining communities or auriferous basins of Transylvania to designate a specific variety of native gold combined with other minerals or a pale-hued natural alloy; silvered white gold. In a structural context, the term preserves a strictly lexicographical value, being documented in applied ethnolinguistics studies and old mining glossaries of the Apuseni Mountains.
• Archaic alliteration — An archaic, literary, or etymological lexicographical variant of the noun 'aliterație'; it designates the figure of speech based on the repetition of the same consonant. The term is found in late 19th and early 20th-century Romanian scholarly texts.
• Arnaldo — A proper masculine given name of Germanic origin, widely used in Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese onomastics (equivalent to Arnold). Etymologically composed of elements meaning 'eagle' and 'ruler / power'.
• Arnaud — A proper French skyname or masculine given name, being the etymological equivalent of Arnold. It originates from the Old Germanic roots meaning 'eagle' and 'ruler', translating to 'ruler with the power of an eagle'.
