From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kayla is one of the names of the Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jewish) community among their traditional neighbours, after which the Kayla language is named.[1] Yona Bogale claimed that the name stems from the Tigrinya word for artisans, and on the broader sense excommunicated people (as Yeshaq I of Ethiopia has denied the right of inheritance of all non-Christians).[1][2] Speakers of Agaw languages, such as Qemant citizens, told researchers that Kayla means "one who has not crossed the stream" or "he or they that have not crossed".[1] This refers to the observance of Shabbat rules among Ethiopian Jews, necessitating the avoidance of activities prohibited on Shabbat.[1]
