(TA.) ― -b2- كَاءَ عَنْهُ He retired from him through fear. (TA.) [Accord. to the TA, it seems that ↓ أَكَاآءَهُ also has this signification.]

4 اكاءه ذ , inf. n. اـِكَاآءٌ and اـِكَاآءَةٌ, He came upon him suddenly, when he (the latter) was about to do a thing, and caused him to abstain from it through fear or cowardice. (K, TA.) But some say that this is correctly أَكَأَهُ; like كَتَبَ, inf. n. كِتَابٌ and كِتَابَةٌ. (TA, art. أَكأ.) ― -b2- See 1.

كَاآءٌ ذ and كَاآءَةٌ and ↓ كَىْءٌ (S, K) and كَيْئَةٌ (K) A weak-hearted, cowardly, man: (K, TA:) like كَعٌّ and كَاعٌّ. (S.)

(En-Nawádir, TS, K.) ― -b2- Also, He made his travelling-apparatus light, or easy of conveyance; syn. يَسَّرَ. (S, K.) A poet says, كَيِّتْ جِهَازَكَ اـِمَّا كُنْتَ مُرْتَحِلًا اـِنِّى أَخَافُ عَلَى أَذْوَادِكَ السَّبُعَا [ Make thy travelling apparatus light, when thou art departing on a journey; for I fear for thy droves, or troops, of camels, on account of the beast of prey ].

أَكْيَاتٌ ذ i. q. أَكْيَاسٌ, [pl. of كَيِّسٌ:] (K:) the Rájiz says, غَيْر أَعِفَّاءِ وَلَا أَكْيَاتِ [ Not such as abstain from things unlawful and unbecoming, nor ingenious, or acute in mind, &c. ]. (TA.) See art. س p. 1281 a. Some say, that it it is a word mispronounced: others, that it is formed by the change of س into ت, as in the case of طَسٌّ and طَسْتٌ. (TA.)

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.

(L.) So some explain the verb in the Kur xxi. 58. (TA.) ― -b6- يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا [Kur lxxxvi. 16, They practise an artful device, and I will practise an artful device ]. كَيْدُ ا@للّٰهِ لِلْكُفَّارِ [ God's practising an artful device towards the unbelievers ] means his taking them unawares, so that they do not reckon upon it; bestowing upon them enjoyments in which they delight, and on which they place their reliance, and with which they become familiar so as not to be mindful of death, and then taking them in their most heedless state; اـِسْتِدْرَاجُهُمْ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ. (Zj, L.) ― -b7- كَادَ, aor. يَكِيدُ, inf. n. كَيْدٌ, He contrived, devised, or plotted, a thing, whether wrong or right.
