Re: [alreq] Section on Background of Arabic Numerals (#131)

I think the word "Moorish" is the only one that both covers and specifies Andalusia and historical Morocco (including territories that are now part of neighboring countries such as Algeria and Mauretania) while being ethnically neutral. Using "Arab" means you excluded the contribution of the Amazigh (Berbers) and native Iberians. "Arabic speakers" or "Arabophones" may be more apt, but "Arabophone numerals" sounds contrived.
