Archaic angina form
Definition
A rare regional and archaic form used in old Romanian popular medical terminology to describe a state of suffocation, strangulation, angina pectoris, or acute inflammation of the throat that obstructs normal breathing. This structural term documents the entry and phonetic adaptation of words of Balkan or Hellenic origin into the empirical lexicon of village healers, being gradually replaced by modern medical concepts.
