Strong's Concordance sumpnigó: to choke Original Word: συμπνίγωPart of Speech: Verb Transliteration: sumpnigó Phonetic Spelling: (soom-pnee'-go) Definition: to choke Usage: I choke utterly, as weeds do plants; I crowd upon. HELPS Word-studies 4846 sympnígō (from 4862 /sýn, "identified with" and 4155 /pnígō, "choke") – properly, choke (cut off) – literally, "choked because joined with." 4846 /sympnígō ("press in on, choke") operates in people having "wrong identifications" (aligning with sin). Doing this cuts a person off from Christ's provisions (His life-supply, note the prefix, syn) and leaves them inoperative (stalled, spiritually suffocated). [4846 (sympnígō) is figuratively used of the deadly connections of sin, cutting off the life-support needed to live.] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom sun and pnigó Definition to choke NASB Translation choke (2), choked (2), pressing against (1).
