- Aivas — A surname of Eastern European or Oriental origin, rarely found within the Romanian linguistic space; it can also represent a simplified spelling variant, a typographical error, or an abbreviation of the name of the famous Russian marine painter of Armenian descent, Ivan Aivazovsky. In other specific document research contexts, it may designate a modern corporate or industrial technical acronym.
- Alcade investiture — A hypothetical term, regional variant, or extremely rare corrupted form found in old manuscripts for the process of appointing or exercising the function of an alcade (alcalde); it can also represent a historical graphic confusion for the word 'alcătuire'. In the old Spanish administrative context, it symbolically described the takeover of local power by a magistrate.
- Salve-like — A rare or regional term describing a soft, greasy consistency or a whitish-yellowish hue, similar to that of a simple homemade ointment. It is sometimes used in local dialects to describe the texture of overcooked culinary dishes or the state of waterlogged clay soils.
- Numbness — The act of going numb and its result; the process of losing tactile sensitivity or muscular mobility; an historical variant of the modern noun 'amorțire'. In archaic or popular language, the term defines that state of numbness, lack of reaction, physical or spiritual torpor gradually settling in an organism or a community.
- Andrée — A graphic variant of French origin for the feminine given name Andreea, derived from the Greek root 'Andreas'.

- Andries — A Romanian surname widespread nationally or an archaic masculine given name, representing a regional Moldavian variant of the name Andrew, structurally derived from the Greek 'Andreas' (manly, courageous).

- Andrii — A Romanian surname widespread nationally or an archaic masculine given name, representing an old orthographic and phonetic variant of the name Andrei (or borrowed directly from the Ukrainian language in border regions).
