• Aerope — A structural plural form or rare neologistic variant used to designate the collection of manifestations, concepts, or particles correlated with the upper layers of the aerial environment. The term may appear in isolated etymological or poetic analyses as the inflected or uninflected plural of thematic derivatives in atmospheric dynamics.
• Agamids — An archaic plural form or old taxonomic variant used in early Romanian natural history textbooks to denote the agama family (Agamidae) or reptile species structurally related to acrodont lizards.

• Ancient wheat strains — The plural form of the masculine noun 'alac'; it designates multiple strains, varieties, or crops of ancient wheat (Triticum monococcum or Triticum spelta), characterized by rigid stalks and grains tightly enclosed in hard glumes. Although it is a correct grammatical form obtained by applying the specific plural ending, the term is rarely used in contemporary language, with the collective singular 'alac' being preferred to define the entire harvest or organic grain crop.
• Alae — The plural form of the feminine noun 'ala'; in ancient Roman military history, it designates multiple auxiliary cavalry or infantry units placed on the army's flanks; in anatomy and zoology, it represents the prominent symmetrical wings or structural formations of certain bones, organs, or insects (such as alae sacrales or the nasal wings). This structural term of morphological precision describes paired lateral elements that ensure aerodynamic balance, skeletal stability, or mechanical protection of an anatomical opening.

A regional, shortened, or familiar variant for the feminine plural demonstrative pronoun of distance 'acelea' (or 'acele'), used colloquially to indicate objects or persons located at a distance.
• The alleles — The definite articulate plural form of the feminine noun alelă; it specifically and directly defines the alternative variants of the same gene occupying a homologous chromosomal locus, viewed as clearly defined objects of study within a diploid organism or a biological population.
• Alems — The plural form of the neuter noun alem; ornamental metal finials, flagpole toppers, or traditional decorations shaped like crescents, spears, or spheres, historically mounted atop military banners or the domes of religious buildings in the Ottoman Empire.

• Cypress spurges — The plural form of the masculine noun 'alior'; designates multiple specimens of the herbaceous plant Euphorbia cyparissias or, broadly, related species from the Euphorbiaceae family, known for secreting an abundant toxic and caustic latex.

• Cornmeal cheese cakes — The plural form of the noun 'alivancă'; it designates multiple portions or pieces of the traditional Moldavian culinary dish made from cornmeal, cheese, eggs, and sour cream. In Romanian literature, the term evokes rural hospitality in Moldavia, being consecrated by writers like Ion Creangă in descriptions of rich country feasts.
• Aloizi — A plural form used in specific contexts to designate multiple individuals bearing the name Aloiz or, in old natural history literature and archaic translations, erroneously used as a free plural adaptation for the mythological giants (aloadae / aloidae).

• Alotrii — An archaic or regional plural form used in certain local dialects to designate strangers, people coming from other places, or members of a non-native community (the archaic equivalent of the term 'allogenous').
