Core sense — one who strangles; a narrow pass; a poisonous herbgenerated

One who strangles.

خَنَّاقٌ has the same meaning, or means one whose office it is to strangle.

1.1a herb; [in the present day, wolfsbane, or aconite]—خَانِقُ الذِّئْبِ

The first is high (مشرف, but perhaps this should be مُشْرِق, i.e. shining) in the leaves, downy, and resembles the دلب.

a herb; [in the present day, wolfsbane, or aconite]—خَانِقُ النَّمِرِ

a herb; [dogsbane, or colchicum]—خَانِقُ الكَلْبِ

a herb; [strangle-weed, or broomrape]—خَانِقُ الكِرْسَنَّةِ

In the CK, الكَرْسَنَّةُ.

[Golius, referring to Dioscorides 4.78 and 4.77, makes the first of these the aconitum lycoctonon and the second the aconitum pardalianches; the third, referring to Dioscorides 4.81, apocynon; and the fourth, called strangle-weed because it strangles the كِرْسَنَّة, or bitter vetch, referring to Dioscorides 2.172 and Ibn-Beytár, orobanche.]

The second is like the tail of a scorpion, glistening, about a span high, and has no more than five leaves.

Each of these belongs to the season called رَبِيع. They are poisonous and kill all animals; the ذِئْب and the نَمِر are specified only because of how quickly it acts in them.

Ibn-Seenà says, in the Kánoon, that the leaves of خانق النمر, mixed with fat, kneaded and baked with bread, and given as food to wolves, dogs, foxes and leopards, kill them. It seems from this that these may be two herbs or one herb.
