Notes

Proto-MSA *nḳl 'to choose' (SEDonline 1475). Perhaps from 'to take out, to pick up', if connected with Arb. nql 'to transfer, to shift', Sab. nḳl 'to quarry stone' (SD 97), Qat. nḳl 'to dig out, to excavate' and Gz. naḳala 'to uproot, to eradicate, to pull up' (Kogan 2015:565 apud SEDonline 1475). Cf. SA065 *nḳl 'excavate'.
