I'm not sure of Ankar's origin as a word but it seems pretty old & unrelated to Ankara. It also has a similar pronunciation to both Enki & Ea.

I doubt Ankar has got anything to do with Ankara. Or vice versa.
Ankara is just a recent name of the capital city of Turkey which during ancient time was called Ancyre.
I would see more the Gray-Cobb's Ankar being the sikh representation of "OM" known for them as "ek oankar" (AKA ek onkar or ek omkar)
Ek in Urdu or in Hindi means one (Yek in Persian or Farsi)
Ong being the creative energy
and Kar meaning that this energy is in action.
Hello Jess,
That is very interesting what you posted.
Will have to look into this further.
Thank you very much.

Thought I'd add my concluded opinion on this topic while I'm here. After spending some time meditating on the mantra "Onkar" (which exists as basically the same concept of "Om" in Sikhism), I've come to believe, personally, that this is what Gray-Cobb intended as his Ankar in NAP. They resonate identically and produce the same energetic effect on the practitioner.
