Mar says this is an old word equivalent to "kora".  Used in the song "Watasi no kot era soak":   Sizukani  nemure a  kmo dobedebekau / silall mlo meringel er a bedengek el mei era kokoro = Resting in a quiet place, I think about you / it was kind of hard on my body as the feelings come.  "Silall" also shows up in an example in tekinged.

In the example, silall doesn’t look like ‘kora’ to me.

Charl read the example and says it is the past tense of SMALL. Which I just realized is missing also. We have ‘msall’ which is the imperative form.

Jim, in your song, could it mean ‘waited’?

I probably mis-understood Mar on that one.  Waited (or waiting) would make sense in context
