Verb

IPA: /ˈʔa.la/, /ˈʔa.laˤ/ [archaic]
Etymology: From Arabic قَلَعَ (qalaʕa, “to pull out, rip off, uproot”). The sense “to vomit” perhaps reinforced by the fact that the verb (with its initial uvular and final pharyngeal) would have been somewhat onomatopoeic of retching; compare unrelated but phonetically similar Arabic قاءَ (qāʔa, “to vomit”).
