I think those 2 words arent used together.
Nor means only
Taka means really.

I’d translate as “but rather”.
It wasn’t person A “nor takka/but rather” the other person you thought of.

Here's the context:
מעראכווע איז געווען א שטעטל ווי אלע, נאר טאקע ״פאָגאָלאָוונאָ״, אלע האבן געקענט טאנצן און זינגן

In this case נאר would translate as "but".

This looks like old Yiddish. I have no idea what this means. Is it from a Menachem Mendel book?

I speak Yiddish but that sentence is too wordy to make proper sense.
I think either someone is trying to make a rhyme, or maybe one of the words is being misheard?

It's Yiddish written after the war, in a Yizkor book. Here's the full context if anyone is willing to read this! (a short paragraph) https://I.imgur.com/jcxSf1v.png

״פאָגאָלאָוונאָ״ sounds like a Russian word , meaning everyone (literally every head).

I'd translate it as only here. Only really.

Context seems like “only more so” which also fits the words.
