I think you are aware of the far from complete, and only tentative, knowledge of this resurrected language you call Hurrian.
I would look for the meaning (which in my opinion should be of a physical nature) of the name in the related Hebrew roots

גבר גפר
הבר
חבר חפר חור
כבר כפר
קבר

possibly referring to a group or a pile of houses covering a hill.

and the name meaning “Heaven” or “My
Heaven”. In that case, the root XBR is a noun, being the Hurrian noun meaning “
heaven” or “sky”.
