From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Hebrew

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From *qitl-. Hebrew doesn't allow consonant clusters at the end of words, which came to be as a result of the decline of the case system. For this reason words of the form *qatl-, *qitl- and *qutl- were broken up and usually became segolates (bisyllabic words with stress on the first syllable and a segol in the second one), thus regularly yielding "qetel" or "qotel".

Noun

[edit]

קֵטֶל (kétel, qḗṭelm (plural indefinite קְטָלִים, plural construct קִטְלֵי־)
