Translation:

Scehair or xahair is Arabic for Latin ordeum {"barley"}.


Commentary:

Scehair or xahair:
Wehr (1976): ﺷﻌﻳﺮ /šaʕīr/ "barley"; Siggel (1950: 46): ﺷﻌﻳﺮ /šaʕīr/ Hordeum (Gram.), Gerste {i.e. "barley"}.

This is one of the many attempts by Simon to represent the Arabic word ﺮﻳﻌﺷ /šaʕīr/; see below.
