Hy!Jackie! (which you must have heard a thousand times).
I think Morisco is the Spanish way to say it and Moresque closer to French. The meaning is clear eather way. Let politicions have their wars over words (apoligies for this, regocnition demanded for that, on condition of etc.)Morisco , Moresque, it's Moors (an oldfashioned word anyway) who took the pirat ways, I mean the waters.
