No, no, no. The natural ending in Samogitian is lost as in Latvian.
Derivative of (v)uobouls is (v)uobelie~lie (apple-tree), the ending -
-ie (e:) shows derivation from soft ending. If there were uoboulas,
then apple-tree would be uobela, uobelie~la.

Obuolas could be only adjectyve. It's the same as noun kvailys and
adjective kvailas (stupid), kuilys (pig) and kuilas (as a pig) and a
lot of other lexis...
