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.

I think Germanic *gre:waz
entitles me to hypothesize *ghreH-wos
(I suppose I'm not alone)
Germanic also has *ghreH-s-
> LW French gris
Then, on account of my personal theory
the root in there can be *gh_H1 (r infix)
(I agree this is my invention)
Now my invention is supported
by Arabic jiHrit. "very old woman" (r suffix)
the same as German Greis (r infix)
and yesterday
I opened my Tamazheq-Tafransist AlQamus
by the honourable Carl. K Prasse tome 1
on page 437 and I found k.z. "grey"
Which I consider is the legitimate cognate
of PIE *ghreH1-w, *ghreH1-s
and phonotactic *ghH1-s > k°s-nos
Arabic j_H_r_t.
Phonotaxis and emphatic propogation
by any glottal or pharyngal/uvular
makes *ghH_s into *k.z.
I'm afraid *you* are the one not suited.
I'm grateful you found dj_b the other day.
