pozwalay

Pozwalay is a theoretical grammatical category proposed in linguistic discussions to encode the act of granting permission within an utterance. In such frameworks, the verb or auxiliary carries a marker associated with pozwalay that signals that permission has been granted for the action named by the verb. The category is usually described as a deontic illocutionary mood or a permission modality, distinct from ordinary permission verbs by its focus on enabling action. Pozwalay is primarily discussed in theoretical linguistics, especially in studies of constructed languages and experimental grammars. Note: This term is a hypothetical concept used for illustration and is not attested in natural languages.

Etiology and status: The term is a neologism created for theoretical discourse and is not part of

Function and typology: Pozwalay marks that the speaker or a designated agent grants permission for the action
