It strikes me as passing odd ... that anything designed to be eaten would contain the word/root for "stinky."
I believe the English name for petai (Parkia speciosa) is stinking bean. I find them revolting and the name well deserved, but this page seems to find them something of a panacea http://www.mail-archive.com/permias@listserv.syr.edu/msg13282.html.
