Varniai belongs to South Samgitian, Kretinga with Salantai and
Plunge belongs to North Samogitian. I'm North Samogitian and I know
subdialect around Maz^eikiai. Big part of my kin lives in Plunge.
They know uoboul's (o'buolis) but they don't know o'buolas.
Subdialect of Tels^is^kiai (Maz^eikis^kiai too) know only uoboul's
too. The same situation is in Latvian and it's dialects. A:bol's was
in Latvian before reformation of spelling (a:bol'u gen. pl.),
Latgalian dialect has uobul's and uobel's. My mother is East
Auks^taitian. She says that apple is abal[y']s. Old Prussian has
woble (-e- stem), West Auks^taitian has obuoly's and o'buolis.
Obuolas is impossible. It can be only mistake or probably
falsification.
Dear Sergiejau Tarasovai, i'm sorry, but I think you are defeated ;)

I'm not alone. Today I've phoned all my kindred from Samogitia
(Z^emaitija) and East Auks^taitija. There aren't any obuolas' and
there have never been any obuolas' in all Baltic dialects.
