The relationship between Hebrew and Arabic is enigmatic and I am not
prepared to be sucked now into this murky vortex.
One thing is crystal clear (at least to me), which is that the
inflections of the Arabic QATALA are, as in Hebrew, invariably a root
plus a personal pronoun referring to the perpetrating agent or actor.
At one time they were distinct words, but then they came near and got
fused into one word.
