Here's the reply from Marius Minea who originally noticed this mistake
in my thesis:

Hello,

using alternate versions for more text variety is fine, but in this
case, the option "pagina dup~a" is grammatically wrong.
"dup~a" in Romanian is a preposition, and requires a noun, like "after".
(Like in English, there are contexts that don't require a noun, e.g.,
"the day after", but "the page after" is wrong, likewise in Romanian).
So it should be
	pe pagina urm\u{a}toare
or, equivalently
	pe urm\u{a}toarea pagin\u{a}
(noun and adjective position can be switched freely, the definite accent
goes on the first one -- note the first option without trailing 'a' ).

best regards,

Marius
