Reported by Izanoni, Aug 27/99-----> I wasn't sure what the U.t.c. prnl stood for, but I found it in another forum and apparently it stands for "Usado también como pronominal" or also used like a pronomial (i.e. to serve the purpose of a pronoun).

These were all the words I found but I don't have any idea how to make them all work in the context of the phrase(s) presented in the question.

Does anyone else know how to make them work??

Tongonees appears to be a verb.

It may be a play on the word tongo (fixing relating to boxing) and bojote (which refers to a large box (boj =species of tree)

Aren't ón(es) and ote suffixes related to large sizes?

Not a native, pure guess work.
