So in the following words of a trad., (K,) said by the prophet to Jábir Ibn-'Abd-Allah El-Ansáree, (TA,) أَتَرَانِى

إِنَّمَا كِسْتُكَ لِآخُذَ جَمَلَكَ لَكَ الثَّمَنُ وَلَكَ الجَمَلُ [Dost thou think me to have only overcome thee in acuteness or sharpness or quickness of intellect, &c., in order that I might take thy camel? Thine be the price, and thine be the camel]: (K, * TA:) or, according to another relation, خُذْ جَمَلَكَ وَمَالَكَ [Take thou thy camel and thy property]: and accord. to another, إِنَّمَا مَا كَسْتُكَ [that I have only acted in a niggardly manner with thee], from المِكَاسُ. (TA.) b2: كَيِسَ, [aor. ـْ inf. n. كَيَسٌ, is also mentioned by IKtt as a dial. form of كَاسَ in the sense of He overcame or surpassed [in acuteness &c.] (TA.) 2 كيّسهُ, (K,) inf. n. تَكْيِيسٌ, (TA,) He (God, TK) made him acute or sharp or quick in intellect; shrewd; clever, ingenious, skilful, knowing, or intelligent; (K, TA;) and well educated, or well bred. (TA.) 3 كايسهُ, (S, A, K,) inf. n. مُكَايَسَةٌ, (TA), He vied, or contended, with him in كَيْس [i. e. acuteness or sharpness or quickness of intellect; &c.: see 1]. (K.) You say, كَايَسْتُهُ فَكِسْتُهُ [I vied, or contended, with him in acuteness, &c., and] I overcame, or surpassed, him (S, A) [therein, i. e.] in كَيْس. (A.) And كَايَسَهُ فِى

البَيْعِ (S, A) [He vied, or contended, with him in acuteness, &c., in selling; as seems to be indicated in the S: or] he jested, or joked, with him (لَاغَاهُ) in selling. (A, TA.) 4 أَكْيَسَ and أَكَاسَ He (a man, S) had born to him children acute or sharp or quick in intellect; shrewd; clever, ingenious, skilful, knowing, or intelligent: (S, K:) or he begot a child acute &c. (IKtt.) And أَكْيَسَتْ and أَكَاسَتْ She brought forth children acute &c. (A.) A poet says, فَلَوْ كُنْتُمْ لِمِكْيَسَةٍ أَكَاسَتْ وَكَيْسُ الأُمِّ يُعْرَفُ فِى البَنِينَا [But if ye belonged to one who most generally brought forth children acute in intellect, she had brought forth such children; for the acuteness of intellect of the mother is known in the sons]. (S.) 5 تكيّس He affected acuteness or sharpness or quickness of intellect, shrewdness, cleverness, ingeniousness, skilfulness, knowledge, or intelligence: [see تَعَقَّلَ:] or did so, not having it: syn. تَظَرَّفَ: (S, K, TA:) he feigned, or made a show of, كَيْس [i. e. acuteness or sharpness or quickness of intellect; &c.].

كِيسٌ [A purse;] a well known receptacle; (TA;) a thing made of pieces of rag sewed together; (Msb;) for money, (S, K, TA,) and for pearls and sapphires: (TA:) [so called] because it comprises them: (K, TA:) [a remark that seems to indicate a signification of كَاسَ or some other word from the same root which I do not find elsewhere pointed out: but the more probable derivation is from the Persian كِيسَهْ:] that which is tied up, of leather, and of pieces of rag, is not called thus, but is called خَرِيطَةٌ: (Msb:) pl. [of pauc.] أَكْيَاسٌ (S, Msb, K) and كِيَسَةٌ. (K.) b2: Hence, (TA,) (tropical:) The membrane that encloses a child in the womb; syn. مَشِيمَةٌ.

(TA.) And إِمْرَأَةٌ كَيِّسَةٌ A woman well educated, or well bred. (TA.) and رَجُلٌ كَيِّسُ الفِعْل A man good in action or conduct. (TA.) And بَنَى دَارًا كَيِّسَةً (A) (tropical:) He built an elegant house; syn. ظَرِيفَةً. (TA.) [The dim. كُوَيِّسٌ, more properly كُيَيِّسٌ or كِيَيِّسٌ, is much used in the present day as signifying (tropical:) Elegant, pretty, or beautiful.]

كَيْسَانُ (tropical:) a proper name for Perfidy; (IAar, S, A, K;) as also أَبُو كَيْسَانَ: (IAar:) of the dial. of Teiyi: and derived from كَيْسٌ. (Kr.)

(Lth.) You say, هٰذَا الأَكْيَسُ [This is the more, or most, acute &c.]. (Lth.) And أَىُّ المُؤْمِنِينَ أَكْيَسُ Which of the believers is the most intelligent? (TA.) And it is said in a proverb, أَكْيَسُ مِنْ قِشَّةٍ (A) [(tropical:) More acute &c. than] a little female ape or monkey. (TA, art. قش.) And in a trad., أَكْيَسُ الكَيْسِ التُّقَى

وَأَحْمَقُ الحُمْقِ الفُجُورُ (tropical:) [The most acute of acuteness is piety, and the most foolish of foolishness, or the most stupid of stupidness, is vice]. (A.) b2: See also كَيِّسٌ.
