It is mentioned by Sb, who says that it is of measure فُعْلُولٌ, like زُنْبُورٌ and عُصْفُورٌ; and most hold him to be right: but some of the authors on inflection assert that it is of the measure فُعْلُوتٌ, from سَبَرْــتُ الشَّىْءَ meaning “ I tried, proved, or tested, the thing, or proved it by experiment or experience; ” and that the ت is added to give intensiveness to the signification; which several deny: (MF, TA:) سُبْرُــورٌ, however, is mentioned in the K, in art. سبر, as meaning “ poor,” and land “ in which is no herbage. ” (TA.) سِبْرِــيتٌ and سِبْرِــيتَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in three places.
