Summary/Abstract: The present paper proposes an analysis of the lexical meaning of the adverbial phrases în veci(e) / pe veci(e), as used in the epitaphs of the The Merry Cemetery in Săpânţa. The contexts in which they appear favor the decryption of their lexical meanings in close connection with the semantic valences they have in the religious language of the Bible.
