Entity Yusuf B Gursey spoke thus:

"Tamar" is actually a Date Palm, there may be some non-botanical relation.

this seems to be the Eric Partridge, "Origins", who sees a possible
relation to `ar. tamr , tamar (i.e. from some semitic langauge) "date
palm"
I did some research on this Eric Partridge and he seems to be on the same
track as Isaac Mozeson with his Edenic language:
http://www.homestead.com/edenics/ which coincides with my Spectrum language
concept in which Tamarisk is harmonic 4478, a quadriliteral word combining
these 2 harmonics:

and
http://www.Spectrumology.com/Cogniti..._Ching.html#78

This word makes perfect sense in the context of Spectrumology, and my
research into the word Eshel makes no sense at all, especially since the
ancient word Eshel seems disputed by scholars.
