Likely based on an onomatopoeia for retching, with parallel developments in other Afroasiatic languages, if not inherited from Proto-Afroasiatic, encountered in Ge'ez ቄአ (ḳeʾä), present ይቂእ (yəḳiʾ, “to vomit”), Tigre ቀኣ (ḳäʾa, “to vomit”), Arabic قَاءَ (qāʔa), and similarly in Egyptian qꜣꜥ, qjs (“to vomit”), qꜣ, qꜣꜣ (“to be putrid; to vomit”). Compare קָא (qa, “to vomit, to retch”), in the pa'ál/kál binyan.
