  We present the results of a spatially resolved spectral analysis from four
Suzaku observations covering the northeastern rim of the Cygnus Loop. A
two-kT_e non-ionization equilibrium (NEI) model fairly well represents our
data, which confirms the NEI condition of the plasma there. The metal
abundances are depleted relative to the solar values almost everywhere in our
field of view. We find abundance inhomogeneities across the field: the
northernmost region (Region A) has enhanced absolute abundances compared with
other regions. In addition, the relative abundances of Mg/O and Fe/O in Region
A are lower than the solar values, while those in the other regions are twice
higher than the solar values. As far as we are concerned, neither a
circumstellar medium, fragments of ejecta, nor abundance inhomogeneities of the
local interstellar medium around the Cygnus Loop can explain the relatively
enhanced abundance in Region A. This point is left as an open question for
future work.
