prohlaoval

Prohlaoval is a past tense form of the Czech verb prohlásit (to declare), appearing as the masculine singular in some dialects and in historical texts. In contemporary standard Czech, the ordinary past tense forms are prohlásil (perfective) and prohlašoval (imperfective). Therefore prohlaoval is considered nonstandard or archaic and is rarely used in modern writing.

The form is attested most often in regional varieties of Czech or in older corpora, where phonetic and orthographic variants influenced verb conjugation. It is not a productive or widely accepted form in current language use, and its exact dating depends on the text and region. When encountered, it typically signals a nonstandard register or antiquated language.

For learners and editors, the recommended practice is to replace prohlaoval with the standard prohlásil or prohlašoval, depending on the intended meaning and aspect. The related noun prohlášení means a declaration or statement, and the verbal root prohlás- governs related forms such as prohlásil, prohlásila, prohlásit, and prohlášení.
