(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.
