Pomogala

Pomogala is a non-diacritic spelling sometimes encountered in Polish-language texts that would normally be written with diacritics as pomogła or pomagała. In standard Polish, pomogła is the past tense feminine form of pomóc (to help) in its perfective aspect, meaning “she helped.” Pomagała is the past tense feminine form of pomagać (to help) in the imperfective aspect, also meaning “she was helping” or “she helped.” The ASCII rendering pomogala can therefore appear when diacritics are removed or in systems that do not support special characters. It is not a recognized noun, place name, or organization in its own right.

Linguistic notes and usage context: As a verb form, pomogala functions as a finite predicate or as

Notability: There is no widely recognized concept, place, or organization named Pomogala in established reference sources.
