Nuggar, sometimes spelt as nugar, is a word that potentially derives from the Arabic language. It refers to a type of wooden vessel commonly used in the Middle East for carrying water, milk or other liquids. The word can be transcribed phonetically as /ˈnʌɡər/ or /ˈnʊɡər/ with the stress placed on the first syllable. Despite its obscure origins, 'nuggar' appears in several English-language dictionaries. It is worth noting that the word may be considered archaic and is not widely used in contemporary English.
