Etymology
The version of the Indo-European origin of the name "Navagir" is confirmed by the fact that this word has an exact translation from Sanskrit , which has a clear toponymic meaning. "Nava" नव [2] - a young, new, recent, "weight" गिर् [3] (or "weight" गिरि [4] ) - a mountain. "Navagir" is a new, young mountain (mountains). The version of the Turkic origin of the toponym Navagir has no evidence.
Geography and geology
The slopes of the Navagirsky Range between Anapa and Sukko are covered with a juniper burner, in the spring there are also many poppies blooming. Most of the watercourses are temporary in nature and are associated with melting snow, spring thunderstorms and winter drizzle. The Navagirsky ridge differs from other mountains of the Caucasus in that it was formed as a result of severe compression of the earth's crust [5] . The length of the ridge on the Abrau Peninsula reaches about 5 km along the Sukko River Valley [6] . The peaks of the Navagirsky Range are the Sugar Loaf Mountains (540 m) and the Sorcerer (440 m) [1] . Mount Koldun is the remainder of the coastal ridge, part of which went under water as a result of earthquakes and formed the entrance to the Tsemess bay . A continuation of this ridge on the other side of the bay is Mount Doob (452 m).
