And The apple: in this sense a Pers. word [arabicized]: and hence the name of [the celebrated grammarian] سِيبَوَيْهِ; as though meaning “ the scent of apples; ” (M, K, * TA;) according to Abu-l-'Alà, (M, TA,) and Seer: (TA:) by some, [apparently such as mispronounce it,] this name is said to be from the Pers. سِىْ signifying “ thirty ” and بُويَهْ signifying “ odour; ” as though meaning “ thirty odours: ” (MF, TA:) and some say that وَيْهِ is an ejaculation; and that the relaters of traditions dislike pronouncing this name therewith, as also other similar names, and therefore say سِيبُويَهْ, changing the ه into ة, but pausing upon it [so as to pronounce it ه].
