Subject: help with Aramaic?

Friends, I'm cataloging a book with a title that I don't understand.  It
seems it must be either

Agra de-ta'anita
or, maybe, 
Igra de-ta'anita

Can you tell me which?  If "agra," is this the "agra" that means
"meretorious deed"?  Or what??  Perhaps needless to say, the book is a
commentary on Masekhet Ta'anit.

Thank you--
Joan

P.S.  The author is Nahum Avraham of Monsey, N.Y.--publication date,
767.
