First time I ever heard cajou being interpreted as cashew. Yes there is 
a term Pom cajou referring to the cashew fruit, but cajou taken by 
itself always referred to Acajou, the ebony tree. To designate the 
cashew tree, they would say "pie (pyay) pom cajou" ( creolists please 
forgive my ignorance of officially accepted pronounciation) In which 
part of Haiti do they use cajou for cashew?
