<p> '''''chōk''''' ( πνίγω , <i> '''''pnı́gō''''' </i> , and its compounds): Is used in its primary sense of "to strangle," or "to suffocate," in describing the fate of the swine ( Luke 8:33 the King James Version). The Revised Version (British and American) has "drowned," but "choked" is the correct rendering of the [[Greek]] word. </p> <p> Figurative: It is used in the sense of "to strangle" "smother," "suffocate," as if by depriving of breath, in describing the fate of the young grain growing in the midst of thorns ( Matthew 13:7 ). The figurative is carried a little farther still in describing the way the word, planted in the heart, is overcome by the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches ( Matthew 13:22 ). </p> | |||

<p> CHOKE, </p> <blockquote> 1. To stop the passage of the breath, by filling the windpipe or compressing the neck. The word is used to express a temporary or partial stoppage, as to choke with dirt or smoke or an entire stoppage that causes death to suffocate to strangle. Mark 5 . </blockquote> <blockquote> 2. To stop by filling to obstruct to block up as, to choke the entrance of a harbor, or any passage. </blockquote> <blockquote> 3. To hinder by obstruction or impediments to hinder or check growth, expansion, or progress as, to choke plants to choke the spreading of the fruit. </blockquote> <p> Thorns choke them. Matthew 13 . Luke 8 . </p> <blockquote> 4. To smother or suffocate, as fire. </blockquote> <blockquote> 5. To suppress or stifle as, to choke the strong conception. </blockquote> <blockquote> 6. To offend to cause to take an exception as, I was choked at this word. </blockquote> <p> We observe that this word generally implies crowding, stuffing or covering. A channel is choked by stones and sand, but not by a boom. </p> <p> CHOKE, </p> <blockquote> 1. To have the wind-pipe stopped as, cattle are apt to choke when eating potatoes. </blockquote> <blockquote> 2. To be offended to take exceptions. </blockquote> <p> CHOKE, n.
