Whoops, missed this one the first time through. I think herein lies the answer. The word that was imported into English and was once pronounced "kil" in Dutch must have in the last 200 years or so changed to "fil"
This link has an answer to this very same question. It doesn't mention "fil" though.

I feel so stupid! The word I was talking about WAS 'kil'. So the difference between 'kill' en 'kil' lies in the extra 'l'. My excuses for messing things up here [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img].
(Isn't this board great?! Some american guy [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] is teaching me dutch words!!)
