Arnaud,

if you actually think that Twareg <k.az.> entitles you to, on your own
initiative, to hypothesize PIE *ghHes-, and inform no one this is your
'invention', then you are asleep if you do not know this is thoroughly
disreputable.

I wasted my time looking for this stem which is but a figment of your
fevered imagination.

Truly, your mind is not suited for linguistics.
