to be or become whole, entire, integral, perfect, complete; to be finished, done, completed, accomplished; to be concluded, come to a close – WehrCowan1979.

conc

Although the verb displays a large number of derivations, implying old age, these form a rather homogenous semantic field. The assumption of a SSem or CentrSem origin will depend on whether or not a Hbr word for ‘new grain’ should be ascribed to the root.

hist

▪ eC7 ʔakmala (to complete, perfect) Q 5:3 al-yawma ʔakmaltu la-kum dīna-kum ‘today I have completed/perfected your religion for you’. – kāmil (complete, in full) Q 16:25 li-yaḥmilū ʔawzāra-hum kāmilatan yawma ’l-qiyāmati ‘so that on the Day of Resurrection they will bear their full burden’

cogn

▪ DRS 10 (2012)#KML-2: Ar kamala, kamila, kamula ‘être entier, parfait’, kammala ‘parfaire, achever’, dial. kāməl ‘tout’, mér. kimil ‘être fini, périr; tarir (eau)’, Sab hkml ‘compléter (un ouvrage), réussir en’, Mhr kōmel, Ḥrs kēmel ‘finir’, Eth kämal ‘parfait, dans une bonne condition’, təkämmäla ‘être prudent, se restreindre’. - Hbr karmäl ‘grain nouveau’.
▪ Zammit2002: SAr hkml ‘to complete’

disc

Apart from Ar, the word seems to be attested only in southern regions (modSAr and Eth). DRS, however, mentions also Hbr karmäl ‘new grain’ as belonging here, claiming that, accord. to Baumgartner, «la forme Hbr est rattachée à cette racine car elle serait due à une dissimilation de *kmml ‘devenu plein, parfait’.» Should this be correct, one will have to assume a CentSem rather than a SSem area of distribution.
