Etymology

[edit]

From a Berber language; compare Northern Saharan Berber tazeqqa. A Tuareg origin is geographically more plausible, but no phonologically matching term is attested, and it would be unusual for a settled people to borrow a term related to settled life from nomads.

  • IPA(key): /tás.kàː/
    • (Standard Kano Hausa) IPA(key): [tás.kàː]
