unui bade (dative genitive indefinite singular)
badei (dative definite genitive singular)

Unknown. Coincides with Bulgarian бате (bate), бачо (bačo), Serbo-Croatian bato, bača, Hungarian bátya, which could have been borrowed from Romanian. The term might belong to a substratum word from an Indo-European root for father. Compare baci and Russian батюшка (batjuška).
A relation to the dialectal words *bade ("old") and *bad ("to get old") in Lazio, doesn't appear to be coincidental.

(humorous, slightly pejorative) a hillbilly, a yokel, a bumpkin; a poorly educated man from the countryside

Possibly a substratum word, or from Greek μύρον (mýron, “ointment, uncture, holy oil”), relating to the ceremony of the Orthodox wedding. Another theory suggests Latin mīles (“soldier”), possibly mirroring semantic evolution of the rare voină (“husband”), from Slavic воинъ (voinŭ, “warrior”). Other less likely etymologies proposed include Turkish amir (“chief”), Cuman mir ("prince"), a Vulgar Latin *mīrex, from Ancient Greek μεῖραξ (meîrax, “adolescent; boy”), or an old Indo-European term.
Possibly related to Albanian mirë (“good”). Replaced mărit, which only survived in some regional dialects.

unor femei (dative genitive indefinite plural)
femeilor (dative definite genitive plural)
femeie (singular vocative)
femeio (singular vocative)
femeilor (plural vocative)

Inherited from Latin familia (“family”). The old sense of "family" in Romanian is now mostly lost, replaced by the neologism familie. Compare Aromanian fumealji, which retained the sense of "family". Despite the phonetic and semantic similarities, is unrelated to Latin femella, and it is improbable that this word influenced the development of the meaning in modern Romanian because the older forms of femeie did not have the sense of woman and the other Romanian/Eastern Romance languages don't have this sense either. It is also unrelated to Latin femina, which produced some apparent "cognates" in the Western Romance languages that only share superficial similarities.
For a similar semantic development, see Albanian fëmijë.

Lot, ieși cu muiarea ta și cu fămeaia ta afară din cetate.

Lot, exit with your wife and your family outside the city.
