Etymology: Aquilina identifies it with Bedouin Tunisian Arabic تقز (tagz, “similar in age, height, weight, etc.”). Though this seems likely, it does not solve the question of eventual origin. Perhaps from underlying ta’ qies (literally “of measure”), from Arabic قَيْس (qays). The Tunisian -z must then be due to assimilation. Etymology templates: {{cog|aeb|تقز|t=similar in age, height, weight, etc.|tr=tagz}} Tunisian Arabic تقز (tagz, “similar in age, height, weight, etc.”), {{der|mt|ar|قَيْس}} Arabic قَيْس (qays) Head templates: {{head|mt|preposition}} daqs Inflection templates: {{mt-prep-inflection-2|daqs|c}}
