The triliteral root khā nūn qāf (خ ن ق) occurs in the Quran - only once:


(5:3) Forbidden to you is what is already dead, and the blood, the meat of pig, and animals sacrificed to other than God. The strangled (Arab. وَالْمُنْخَنِقَةُ, wal-mun'khaniqatu), killed by a blow, fallen from height, gored, eaten by wild animals except what you managed to rescue, and those slaughtered on altars... Also what you divide through gambling. This is all vile. Today the ingrates have given up from your system, so do not revere them, but revere Me. Today I have perfected your system for you, completed My blessings upon you, and I have accepted peaceful surrenderas the system for you. So, whoever is forced by severe hunger and not seeking sin, then God is Forgiving, Compassionate.
