tugging on Baba's coattails again

Mr. Babaganooj ..... if I can tug on your coattails some more......
Is there any sort of a first date when "henna" (red) and "tenderness" were closely linguistically related? What early languages would have carried those two together? Any other than Arabic? What were the pre-Arabic languages?
Is Finno-Ugric related to Ugarit or is that just coincidence (Last I heard Finno-Ugric wasn't even Indo-European, but I've always wanted to ask)
What seems to be the earliest origin date for the myths that compose the Syrian epic poetry of the myth of Baal and Anath (I've heard anywhere from 4000 BCE to 1800 BCE) or is it probable that it simply goes back to the Neolithic?
Would you happen to have any of the original text for the Inanna and Dumuzi and Descent of Inanna epic poems? There are some things there I REALLY wonder about, but I only have English translations....
I have about 300 more questions I'd like to ask of you, but I'll hold off just a few more minutes...
