From Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon (1863–1893), under the root كون. Digitised by the Perseus Project (Tufts); Arabic decoded from Perseus's transliteration.

كَانَ He or it was. A verb of the class called incomplete, ( نَاقِصٌ ) because, with the agent which it comprises, or to which it relates, it cannot constitute a complete proposition; i. e., non-attributive. The other verbs of this class are, ظَلَّ أَضْحَى أَمْسَى أَصْبَحَ صَارَ , مَا دَامَ مَاا@نْفَكَّ مَا فَتِيءَ مَابَرِحَ مَا زَالَ بَاتَ , and لَيْسَ . Each of these governs its noun, or subject, in the nom. case, and its enunciative, or predicate, in the acc. case; as, كَانَ زَيْدٌ قَايءِمًا Zeyd was standing. ― -b2- (The ن in يَكُنْ and the like is often irregularly elided.) ― -b3- كَانَ , divested of all signification of time. is often used as a copula. (See De Sacy 's Gr. Ar. i. 196.) So too is كَايءِنٌ ; for هٰذَا زَيْدٌ and هٰذَا كَايءِنٌ زَيْدًا signify the same. (Mughnee, voce أَنَّ .) ― -b4- كَانَ as a complete, i. e., an attributive, verb, see حَصَلَ . in three places.

مَكَانَةٌ A particular place of being or existence. See an ex. voce نَفْسٌ . ― -b2- مَكَانَكَ وَزَيْدًا [Keep where thou art and approach not Zeyd!] Heard by Ks.
