كُنْتِىٌّ

Strong; robust. (Ibn-Buzruj, K.) An epithet applied to a man. (Ibn-Buzruj.) Formed from كُنْتُ “ I was ” because an old man speaks of himself in time past saying كُنْتُ كَذَا وَكُنْتُ كَذَا. (MF.)

Also, [and ↓ كُنْتٌ, as implied in the TA, and in the S in article, عجن,] and ↓ كُنْتُنِىٌّ, i. q. كَبِيرٌ [apparently Great in age; old: aged]. (AZ, K.) A poet says,

وَمَا كُنْتُ كُنْتِيًّا وَمَا كُنْتُ عَاجِنًا

وَشَرُّ الرِّجَالِ الكُنْتُنِىُّ وَعَاجِنُ

[And I was not old, nor was I one who raised himself from the ground by the help of his hands: and the worst of men is the old, and one who raises himself so]. (TA.)
