Likely related is AMH allälä 'to mark out, set aside a place of isolation or quarantine, e.g. for s.o. who has a dangerous, contagious disease' [K 1102]; another meaning of the same verb, 'to be in heat (equines); to desire sex' [ibid.] may be a semantic shift from 'to be sick', but may alternatively relate to *hll 'to be imbecile, weak-minded, mad; mocked at'.
Note CAN: EG h_a=ru2=ʔu 'ailment of the eyes' [*h_alūʔu] сompared in [Hoch 248]. The comparison is difficult phonetically (SEM ḥ versus h_ in the Egyptian source); UGR h_l quoted by Hoch presumably to support the reconstruction with h_ does not mean 'sickness' but 'to have labour pains' and belongs to *h_ll/*h_yl, No. .

Cf. another meaning of the same verb, 'to pour a liquid' [K 817]
NOTES:Represents various manifestations and after-effects of this condition (such as fever, perspiration, eye-disease, emaciation, diarrhea, etc.). A wide diversity of meanings makes a common semantic reconstruction somewhat difficult.
Must be eventually derived from SEM *ḳdḥ 'to light up fire': HBR ḳādaḥ 'to set fire to' [KB 1067], PHO ḳdḥ 'to light' [T 284]; SYR ḳǝdaḥ 'incendit' [Brock 645]; ARB ḳdḥ 'chercher à tirer du feu à l'aide d'un briquet' [BK 2 683]; SOQ ḳadaḥ 'to catch fire' [LS 367].

PROTO:*ḳry/ʔ
MEANING:to have effusion (menstruation, pollution)
Only in Dt 23:11; in spite of SEM cognates quoted in [KB 1138], still strangely interpreted there as a derived noun of the verb ḳry 'to meet, befall, happen'. Note also PB māḳōr 'the interior of the womb from where the menses are discharged' [Ja 830]
арабский:ḳrʔ 'avoir ses règles finies (se dit d'une femme qui vienne de les avoir)' [BK 2 701]; ḳarʔ-, ḳurʔ- 'menstrues des femmes, temps où la femme a ses règles' [ibid. 702]
гураге:(?) CHA EZHA yǝšta ḳar, GYE ǝʔǝšta ḳar 'menses' [LGur 697] (also ENN ǝʔǝ̃šča aʔar, MUH yǝšǝttuʔe do. [ibid.]).
Explained by Leslau as 'the thing of the women': ǝšta, etc. meaning 'women' [ibid. 102]; ḳar, aʔar, ʔe representing *ḳal 'word, voice, sound, thing' < SEM *ḳāl- 'word; voice' [ibid. 474]. The second component of this word-combination, ḳar, is better comparable to the present root
NOTES:Alternatively, a nominal root *ḳVry/ʔ- 'effusion (menstruation, pollution)' can be reconstructed, verbal forms to be considered as denominal.
Note AKK ḳurḳurû 'blood soup' SB (LL) [CAD ḳ 319], 'eine Suppe' [AHw 930] (= SUM tu7.mud.gar.ra). Can it be a reduplication of the present root with a specific meaning shift from 'blood effusion'?
Cf. MSA: JIB eḳǝrér '(cow) to be in rut' [JJ 148] (note also mǝḳǝrɛ́rt 'anus' [ibid.]), with a very likely semantic development.
MEANING:to have/make a hairless spot (on the head), to become/make bald
еврейский (иврит):ḳrḥ 'to have one's head shaved' [KB 1140]; ḳorḥā 'bald patch' [ibid. 1141]
иудейский арамейский:ḳǝraḥ 'to make bald, to become bald' [Ja 1415], ḳurḥătā, ḳūraḥtā 'baldness of the back of the head' [ibid. 1342]; ḳrḥ 'to make bald' [Sok 504], ḳrḥh, det. ḳrḥth 'baldness' [ibid.], ḳryḥh, det. ḳryḥth do. [ibid. 505]
арабский:ḳurḥat- 'petite tache blanche au front d'un cheval' [BK 2 707].

тиграй (тигринья):ḳʷärḥe 'fare qualche segno in fronte ecc. ad una bestia per riconoscerla' [Bass 289].
Cf. ḳäränḳära 'teschio (fig. - calvo)' [ibid. 255] (reduplicated stem with a secondary -n-); semantic interpretation should possibly be reverse: 'bald' > 'skull'
гураге:SOD ḳʷärrärä 'to become bald', ḳorara 'bald' [LGur 500]
NOTES:Choice of anatomic meanings related to 'baldness' as the primary ones is rather arbitrary as they are hard to separate from the verb with a non-anatomic meaning 'to shave'; note that only the latter is represented in GEZ ḳarrǝḥa, ḳʷarrǝḥa, ḳarḥa 'to shave, to make bald' (ḳʷǝrḥat 'clipping, shaving, tonsure, coronation') [LGz 441] and MSA: MHR ḳáwrǝḥ 'to shave' [JM 235], HRS ḳerōḥ 'to shave' [JH 77], JIB ḳérḥ 'to cut all the hair off' [JJ 149].
A nominal stem *ḳʷVrḥ-at- or *ḳurḥ-at- reflected in HBR, ARM, ARB and GEZ is reliably reconstructed as common SEM.
AKK ḳarruh_u 'kahlköpfig' NA [AHw 905] is considered an Aramaic loanword [ibid.].

NOTES:As an anatomic term only in AKK and ARB.
Note HBR PB ḳrd 'to scrape, curry' [Ja 1412], with a possible meaning shift from 'to remove hair'. SYR ḳerdā 'ricinus, r. communis' [Brock 693] is also probably related with the underlying meaning 'the parasite insect causing fall of hair'.
