This is your Lola's collection of porcelain figurines on the center table—look but don't touch, or else. It's also the 'final' version of the file on the shared drive that everyone is scared to edit. That file is di-magagalaw.
From 'di-' (not) + 'ma-' (ability prefix) + future tense 'gagalaw' from the root 'galaw' (move).
ROOT MEANING: movement
Can refer to physical objects, abstract concepts like decisions, or people with a lot of power ('untouchable').
