أ and كوأ 1 كَآءَ عَنِ الأَمْرِ, first Pers\. كِئْتُ, aor. ـِ inf. n. كَىْءٌ and كَيْئَةٌ; (S, K; *) and كَآءَ عَنْهُ, first Pers\. كُؤْتُ, aor. ـُ inf. n. كَوْءٌ and كَآءٌ and كَأْوٌ, this last formed by transposition; (K;) He abstained from the thing through timidity: (TA:) or he dreaded the thing, and abstained from it through cowardice: (S, K, TA:) or his eye reverted from the thing, and he desired it not. (TA.) b2: كَاءَ عَنْهُ He retired from him through fear. (TA.) [Accord. to the TA, it seems that ↓ أَكَآءَهُ also has this signification.]4 اكاءه, inf. n. إِكَآءٌ and إِكَآءَةٌ, 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.

كَآءٌ and كَآءَةٌ and ↓ كَىْءٌ (S, K) and كَيْئَةٌ (K) A weak-hearted, cowardly, man: (K, TA:) like كَعٌّ and كَاعٌّ. (S.) كَىْءٌ and كَيْئَةٌ: see كَآءٌ.
