تَمر

تَمْر (noun)

Etymology: As a widely cultivated plant, the native distribution of the date-palm even in earlier antiquity is questionable. Particular terms relating to date culture, like شِيص (šīṣ, “unfecundated dates”), قَسْب (qasb, “dried dates”), and كَافُور (kāfūr, “bract of the inflorescence of the date palm”) can be borrowed. Assuming that ثَمَر (ṯamar, “fruits”), and Old South Arabian 𐩻𐩣𐩧 (ṯmr /⁠ṯamar⁠/, “fruits”), is the same word generalized from an original meaning “dates”, the present word تَمْر (tamr) and Old South Arabian 𐩩𐩣𐩧 (tmr /⁠tamr⁠/, “dates”) are declared, together with Hebrew תָּמָר (tāmār), reborrowed from Aramaic תמרא / ܬܡܪܐ (tamrē, “dates”), in which language only Proto-Semitic *ṯ /θ/ becomes t /t/, and the vowel a is reduced to ə and then ∅ in such position.

Meaning: date (fruit)
