Abstract

The target of this study is to make known pronounces of the perfumes and the incenses as mentioned by the old traveler Ibn Batuta and to analyze them indicatively. Therefore I tried in this study to put together all pronounces mentioned in this voyage and to discuss them in accordance with geographical  reliable sources such as; The best fractional regions by al-Maqdesi, the earth shape by Ibn Hawkal. Arabic dictionary such as al-`Ayn, language education as well as the genuine books. I made every effort to know their meanings in line with the modern lexica such as al-Waseet lexicon, contemporary Arabic language lexicon in order to observe the linguistic developments which can be noticed as a result of the epoch variations.
