Summary/Abstract: In this paper we discuss a particular lexical aspect of the Romanian forest terminology, namely the verbs indicating man’s action upon the forest. We analyze two linguistic maps – one in the Romanian Linguistic Atlas and the other in the New Regional Linguistic Atlas of Romania. We discuss the etymological aspect, as well as the geographical spread of these verbs, and draw some important historical conclusions.
