na.ar describes rejection or disavowal, expressed in contexts of sanctuary and ruined defenses.

The two attestations show na.ar in acts of rejection or disavowal: one clause concerns a sanctuary, while the other occurs amid the breaking through of walls and the making of fortifications a terror.

   In Lamentations 2:7, the Piel perfect masculine singular form occurs in the clause about the sanctuary; the APB renders the clause, "he has disowned his sanctuary." In Psalm 89:40, the Piel perfect second masculine singular form stands in a context where walls are broken through and fortifications become a terror; the APB does not isolate the term's contribution there.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Lamentations 2:7, the APB explicitly renders the sanctuary clause "he has disowned his sanctuary." In Psalm 89:40, its rendering instead presents breached walls and terrified fortifications, so the translation does not clearly isolate the term.
