... About the early history of religious education in the Sous very little is known. The first school in the region was reportedly founded in the eleventh century AD by Muh'ammad Weggag ibn Zalwan of Sijilmassa (d. 445/1054)
at Aglou near Tiznit*...
*= There are still scholars bearing the name Weggag active in the Sous at present.
The name may originally have been a title, cf. Touareg:
aggag= ' prêtre, homme religieux, théologien '
(alojaly, lexique Touareg-Francais)
