▪ Etymology obscure. – LandbergZetterstein1942 suggested that it is a phonetic variant of/development from ↗qunnaẗ ‘mountaintop, summit, peak’, with n > l (cf. also ↗qimmaẗ, with m); see also ↗²qalla ʻto pick up, raise, lift, carry’ and ↗ĭstaqalla ʻto rise’, which may be based on ¹qullaẗ. – See also below, section DISC.

▪ Ḍinnāwī2004 gives also qilālaẗ as a synonym of ¹qullaẗ and claims that they be from Pers kullaẗ [should be: kalle] ‘head of s.th., top’, which in turn is said to go back to an Akk kullutuwwu – untenable for phonological reasons.
