"kiel" meaning in Maltese

See kiel in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: /kɪːl/
Rhymes: -ɪːl Etymology: From Arabic أَكَلَ (ʔakala). The expected basic form would be *ekel or *ikel. The initial vowel was deleted by analogy with the forms of the 1st and 2nd persons, where it had been lost by regular reduction of unstressed vowels. The remaining vowel was then lengthened by analogy with a hollow root. Lengthening also occurred in the imperative. Compare ħa (“to take”).
