Questioned text
Completely different place afaik: According to Michael Sokoloff, the history of the term Nagar goes back to the ancient city "Sumerian Nagar". Along with Kish, Mari and Ebla, Nagar was one of the important cities of the earliest known civilization, Sumer in the region of Upper Mesopotamia (now northwestern Iraq and northeastern Syria) during the sixth and fifth millennium BC. The ancient city is now known as Tell Brak and is located in Syria.

Moreover, Klein's etymological dictionary of Rabbinic Hebrew, traces the word Nagar from Akkadian "Naggaru" which means carpenter or the skilled carpenter. Elinruby (talk) 03:55, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
