Appears to me that NCL is NASA V-HE-ELA נשא והעלה or העלה  
ונשא, 'carried and lifted' or 'lifted and carried'. The form HI- 
CIYL (with a dagesh in the C as it follows a xiriq) contains the two  
personal pronouns: HI in front, and IY inside; the first for the  
performer of the act and the other for the receiver of the act, the  
MU-CAL. The qal form NACAL is not in use.
