كَدْتَ you almost
This is one of the 'verbs of nearness', a past-tense form with 'you' (masculine) built in, that means 'you came close to / almost'. It does not stand alone: it leans on the verb after it to say what was nearly done, so it works almost like a helper, framing the next action as something that very nearly happened but did not.
