It is indeed possible that עיר IR is for 'city', or for ירה YARAH, 'propagate', or for ירא 'feared', or for עיר AYIR, 'donkey' ($ALEM kept his ass there), or for אור OR, 'light, fire' (a fire was kept there for $ALEM). But I would not exclude the possibility that the last M is for 'water', and that YR is for 'flow'.
