Yes, in fact the Moors brought dates all the way to England, where they
were a favorite food.  In fact, the Moors couldn't bring enough to keep
the English happy.  They were always out of dates, waiting for the next
shipment to arrive. "When will our dates arrive?" they would ask the Moors.
And the Moors would answer "tamara". Cognates abound.		:-)
