Plural of aboma; multiple large South American constrictor snakes.
English plural form of 'aboma', created by adding the standard '-s' suffix. The singular form came from indigenous languages via Portuguese colonial documentation.
When naturalists first described these snakes to European audiences, they struggled to standardize the name because indigenous peoples had different names across regions, leading to multiple scientific names being proposed for the same species.
