Pronunciation and morphology notes
Treize is a unique word from Latin "tredecim", one of the six unique-word teens (onze through seize). The final /z/ links in liaison: "treize ans" is said /tʁɛ.zɑ̃/. Culturally it carries the vendredi-treize (Friday the 13th) superstition, though in France thirteen is about as often considered lucky.
