المِحْنَكُ

and ↓ الحِنَاكُ, (K,) the former, only, mentioned by IDrd, (TA,) signify الخَيْطُ الَّذِى يُحَنَّكُ بِهِ (K [so in the CK, apparently meaning The string with which the lower jaw of a corpse is tied up: in a MS. copy of the K, يُحْنَكُ; as though the meaning were, the string that is used as a halter, put in a horse's mouth: but the former I regard as the right reading: in the TA, يحنك, without any syll. signs].)
