Hebrew

Etymology

From *qitāl- and *qutāl-. Due to the Canaanite vowel shift the /aː/ almost always shifted to /oː/, and the /i/ or /u/ turned into a vocal shwa.

Noun

קְטוֹל (któlm or f (plural indefinite קְטוֹלִים or קְטוֹלוֹת, singular construct קְטוֹל־, plural construct קְטוֹלֵי־ or קְטוֹלוֹת־)

Used for forming substantives.

Declension

Nouns with feminine endings are conjugated in an analogous manner.

Words maintaining an original /aː/

Words which did not undergo the Canaanite vowel shift may be of native Canaanite extraction or loanwords (especially from Aramaic).

Usage notes

The /i/ or /u/ of the first syllable becomes an extra-short /ă/, that is חֲ. Cf. חֲמוֹר (<ḥimār) and חֲלוֹם (<ḥilām).
