Translation:
Gobeyra is Arabic for Latin mespilla, derived from Arabic gobar, which means "powder", almost like the "dusty {sc. tree}".
Commentary:
Siggel (1950: 54): ﻏﺒﺎﺭﻳﺔ /ġabāriya/ e. Mespilus (Ros.). {i.e. "a Mespilus = medlar species"}. The word is said to have derived from ﻏﺒﺎﺭ /ġubār/ "dust" (Wehr).
