The reconstructed passive perfect is قُوِلَ. The kasrah of wāw moves to qāf, and wāw after kasrah becomes yāʾ, producing قِيلَ.
قَالَ → قِيلَ contrasts the ordinary active/passive forms, although each is derived from its own underlying pattern.
In قُلْتُ (“I said”) versus قِلْتُ (“I was spoken of”), the long middle vowel is absent; initial ḍammah versus kasrah conveys the voice distinction.
