"ဟက်" meaning in Burmese

See ဟက် in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: /hɛʔ/ Forms: hak [romanization]
Etymology: Both senses are derived by STEDT from Proto-Tibeto-Burman *ha(ː)k (“to hawk, gag, choke”), likely of partially-onomatopoeic origin similar to that of English hawk. Compare Mizo [Term?] (hâak, “to swallow the wrong way or so as to choke; to catch one's breath”).
