• Abelia triflora — A large shrub species native to the Himalayan mountain region, characterized by flowers often arranged in clusters of three and an intense fragrance. In experimental phytotherapy and phytochemical research, Abelia triflora is recognized for its content of secoiridoid glycosides and complex phenolic derivatives. These natural constituents are clinically studied in experimental neuroprotection models for their potential to reduce neuroinflammation and stabilize cellular metabolic homeostasis in the brain.
• Abii / Abians — A historical and mythological term taken from ancient Homeric texts and old geographies, sometimes used in early European medical and anthropological treatises to denote a Scythian nomadic tribe north of the Danube, described as living in complete asceticism, abstinence, and holding a strict lacto-vegetarian diet. In 19th-century medical hygiene texts, they were cited as a historical example of extreme longevity achieved through dietary moderation, lack of vices, and pathological isolation from urban epidemics.
• Abomey — A historical city in southern Benin, renowned as the former political and administrative capital of the powerful West African Kingdom of Dahomey (founded in the 17th century). The locality houses the complex of the Royal Palaces of Abomey, a UNESCO World Heritage site, which serves as a cultural testament to African monarchical dynasties and colonial resistance.
• Home (elongated) — An altered form due to a misspelling (with an accidental doubling of the vowel 'a') of the native adverb of place 'acasă' (home).
