تمر

The native distribution of the date-palm is questionable and this Arabic word has been based on this and the perception that the ثَمَر‎ (ṯamar, “fruits”) is the same word generalized by reason of later importance of the date from an original meaning “dates” declared together with Hebrew תָּמָר‎ (tāmār) reborrowed from Aramaic תמרא‎ / ܬܡܪܐ‎ (tamrē), which direction is also pointed at by more specific borrowed date culture terms like شِيص‎ (šīṣ, “unfecundated dates”), قَسْب‎ (qasb, “dried dates”), and كَافُور‎ (kāfūr, “bract of the inflorescence of the date palm”).
