Etymology
Borrowed from Middle Iranian *sapōδ (perhaps via Aramaic *sappōḏ, because otherwise *սապոյր (*sapoyr) is expected), from Old Iranian *sapauda-, whence Classical Persian سبوی (sabōy), سبو (sabô, “cup, jug”), Bactrian σαβολο (sabolo, “jar”) and the Tocharian B loanword sapule (“jar”). The connection with Persian was recognised already by Awgerean and Gēorg Dpir.
