The word KLIY is of the formation CCIY [ C = consonant] as are as  
are: BKIY, GDIY, DLIY, PRIY, CBIY, $TIY, etc. They are, in my  
opinion, of the adjectival construct root+ the appended personal  
pronoun HIY) [ ) = aleph] for the thing itself. The word $)ER that  
you mention is of form C)EC, as are: B)ER, Z)EB, K)EB, P)ER, C)EL, R) 
EM, etc, which include, in my opinion, the internal personal pronoun  
HIY), for the thing itself, and terminate in a consonant.
The interesting thing about Esther 1:22 is that the T of KI-KTAB-AH  
is missing a dagesh.
I am afraid that if you mention KILYAH in any coffee house in Tel  
Aviv they may think that you desire a roasted kidney (and if you  
decide to pedantically bark the mapik-ed H they may think that you  
have a throat problem), and who knows what they may think about  
K:LIYFH, so better say HA-KLIY $EL-AH.
