كيأ كيت كيد


2. ⇒ كيّت

كيّت, inf. n. تَكْيِيتٌ, He stuffed, or filled, a bag or other receptacle for travelling-provisions or for goods or utensils, &c. (En-Nawádir, TṢ, Ḳ.)

Root: كيت - Entry: 2. Signification: A2

Also, He made his travelling-apparatus light, or easy of conveyance; syn. يَسَّرَ. (Ṣ, Ḳ.) A poet says,

* كَيِّتْ جِهَازَكَ إِمَّا كُنْتَ مُرْتَحِلًا *
* إِنِّى 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]. (Ṣ.)


أَكْيَاتٌ

أَكْيَاتٌ i. q. أَكْيَاسٌ, [pl. of كَيِّسٌ:] (Ḳ:) 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.)


وَكَيْتَ

كَانَ مِنَ الأَمْرِ كَيْتَ وَكَيْتَ, and كَيْت وَكَيْتِ, (AO, Ṣ, Ḳ, &c.,) and كيْتُ وَكَيْتُ, (IAth, ISd, IḲṭṭ,) 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, Ḳ.) The ت in كيت is originally ة; (Ṣ, Ḳ:) 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 AḤei; and most of the leading authorities on inflexion assert the same. (MF. voce ذَيْتَ.) See ذيت.
