That is correct. The form q’tila in Hebrew is a nominal verb form, functioning as a gerund (“blowing”). The Torah only uses a noun, t’ru’ah. From the root t-q-‘ there is no noun, so the gerund is used where a nominal form is needed.

It's in both Ashkenaz and "Sfard", but not in the Sefaradi/EM nusach,
while Nusach Italia has only the last line, "uskabeil berachamim...".


I believe "tekiaseinu" in that phrase is a verb, not a noun; i.e. it
refers not to the blasts but to the act of blowing, which is singular.
"Kol tekiaseinu" is thus "the sound of our blowing".
