BDB4042

II. כלל (assumed as √ of following, but dubious; cf Late Hebrew כַּלָּה; Aramaic כַּלְּתָא, ; Arabic Assyrian kallâtu, explanation by Dl^{Prol. 130 f.} (compare Id^{HWB 330}) as proposing closed bridal chamber (ideogram = closed chamber), from √ כלא or כלה, thence bride (compare harem); according to RS^{K 136 f. 292} כַּלָּה = one closed in, or reserved (that is, for her husband); Ges and others one crowned (compare Aramaic etc. כלילא crown), but form much against this; Nö^{ZMG 1886, 737} 'ventures no explanation').
