Arabic term

طقش

Arabic to English Other Other
وقد يظن البعض أن الرقص المعاصر هو «طقش» و«فقش»، يجذب طالبي الوجبات الفنية السريعة والخفيفة، لكن الحقيقة هي غير ذلك.

If you could say what the vowels are and also if this is a dialect word, it would help a lot.

Thank you very much.

Andrew Cavell (asker) May 2, 2010:
I saw part of a Jstor article which says the term taqsh w-faqsh means "disruption" (=noise/commotion?), stemming from the meaning "finger clicking or playing finger cymbals."

It might be the root of the verbs are طق and فقأ with ش suffix.
