For a masculine or neuter singular noun like deviz, -ul is a very common definite ending.

Why is procesul-verbal hyphenated?

Because proces-verbal is a fixed compound noun in Romanian. It is a set expression used in official or administrative language.

It does not mean verbal process in normal English. As a whole, it means something like:

• official report
• record
• minutes

The hyphen shows that the two parts belong together as one lexical unit.
