كيت

كَانَ مِنَ الأَمْرِ كَيْتَ وَكَيْتَ ذ , and كَيْت وَكَيْتِ, (AO, S, K, &c.,) and كيْتُ وَكَيْتُ, (IAth, ISd, IKtt,) i. e. كَذَا وَكَذَا, [ Some of the circumstances of the case were thus and thus; or so and so; or such and such things ]. (Lth, K.) The ت in كيت is originally ة; (S, K:) as in the case of ذَيْت; these two words being originally كَيَّة and ذَيَّة: (TA:) or the ت in كيت and ذيت is substituted for ى: they are originally كَيَّة and ذَيَّة; and the ة is elided, and the ى which is the last radical letter is changed into ت: so accord. to AHei; and most of the leading authorities on inflexion assert the same. (MF. voce ذَيْتَ.) See ذيت.
