Subject:khiDamm query

Hi all,

I have recently encountered the word khiDamm (sea or ocean), which  
reminded
me of the word sijill (register), because of the shadda on the final
radical. Does anybody have an explanation for the existence of this  
rather
strange pattern Fi'iLL/Fi'aLL (why isn't is just khiDam or sijil?). Are
there more similar words?
