  We present detailed time-averaged X-ray spectroscopy in the 0.5--10 keV band
of the Seyfert~1.9 galaxy NGC 2992 with the Suzaku X-ray Imaging Spectrometers
(XIS). We model the complex continuum in detail. There is an Fe K line emission
complex that we model with broad and narrow lines and we show that the
intensities of the two components are decoupled at a confidence level >3sigma.
The broad Fe K line has an EW of 118 (+32,-61) eV and could originate in an
accretion disk (with inclination angle greater than ~30 degrees). The narrow Fe
Kalpha line has an EW of 163 (+47,-26) eV and is unresolved FWHM <4090 km/s)
and likely originates in distant matter. The absolute flux in the narrow line
implies that the column density out of the line-of-sight could be much higher
than measured in the line-of-sight, and that the mean (historically-averaged)
continuum luminosity responsible for forming the line could be a factor of
several higher than that measured from the data. We also detect the narrow Fe
Kbeta line with a high signal-to-noise ratio and describe a new robust method
to constrain the ionization state of Fe responsible for the Fe Kalpha and Fe
Kbeta lines that does not require any knowledge of possible gravitational and
Doppler energy shifts affecting the line energies. For the distant
line-emitting matter (e.g. the putative obscuring torus) we deduce that the
predominant ionization state is lower than Fe VIII (at 99% confidence),
conservatively taking into account residual calibration uncertainties in the
XIS energy scale and theoretical and experimental uncertainties in the Fe K
fluorescent line energies. From the limits on a possible Compton-reflection
continuum it is likely that the narrow Fe Kalpha and Fe Kbeta lines originate
in a Compton-thin structure.
