henken (weak, third-person singular present henkt, past tense henkte, past participle gehenkt, auxiliary haben)

1. (transitive, dated or archaic) to hang; to execute by hanging

   Synonym: hängen

• Inflected forms in which the stem henk- is followed by a consonant are—according to any not stilted pronunciation—homophonous with the corresponding forms of hängen, and can therefore be considered spelling variants of the latter. Some writers may use the spelling henk- instead of häng- because it is suggestive of Henker (“hangman”).
• Those forms in which the stem henk- is not followed by a consonant (henk, henke, henken, henkend) are audibly distinct from hängen. These are rarely used anymore.
