קאל (qāla) (non-past יקול (yaqūlu))

  1. Judeo-Arabic spelling of قَالَ (qāla, to say)‎‎
    • c. 10th century, Saadia Gaon, Tafsir[1], Exodus 10:1:
      תׄם קאל אללה למוסי אדכׄל אלי פרעון פאני קד קוית קלבה וקלב קואדה לכי אחל אפאתי הדׄה בהם׃
      ṯumma qāla llāhu limūsā dḵul ʔilā firʕawna faʔinnī qad qawwaytu qalbahu waqalba quwwādihi likay ʔuḥilla ʔāfātī hāḏihi bahum.
      Then God said to Moses: Come to Pharaoh for I have just strengthened his heart and the heart of his commanders so that I might set upon them these my plagues.
