Has been compared to the Aramaic root *slḳ by W. Leslau (LS 290), which is not impossible. In CDG 509, Leslau prefers to relate the Soqotri adjective to Gez. saḳala ‘to hang,’ which is difficult to accept because of the phonological irregularity: the Geez verb goes back to PS *ṯḳl, whereas Soq. s does not correspond to PS *. (Kogan 2015:386-387)

MB: но вообще-то семантически эф-сем saḳala ближе к сокотрийскому корню.
