She was at the eastern sides of the two mountains or at Muḥajjar, and then the places called Fardah and Rukhām encompassed her.
Al-jabalayn refers to two recognized mountains, without naming both in the verse itself. Muḥajjar, Fardah and Rukhām function as place names. In fa-taḍammanathā, the land is imagined as “holding” Nawār within it, turning geography into a figurative enclosure.
