CH-N-W-K – ‘fixed, determined, independent existence’

Enoch is a state of being/consciousness that is narrow and dense, leaving little room for flexibility, giving rise to fixed forms out of thoughts and concepts.

2585. Chanowk, khan-oke´; from 2596; initiated; Chanok, an antediluvian patriach:—Enoch.

2596. chanak, khaw-nak´; a primitive root; properly, to narrow (compare 2614); figuratively, to initiate or discipline:—dedicate, train up.

…composed of the two roots חן and אך. The first חן, characterizes proper, elementary existence: it is a kind of strengthening of the analogous root הן, more used, and which designates things in general. The second אך, contains the idea of every compression, of every effort that the being makes upon itself, or upon another, for the purpose of fixing itself or another. The verb which comes from these two roots, הנון signifies to fix, to found, to institute, to arrest any existence whatsoever.

It is from a composition quite similar, that the personal pronoun אנוכי, myself, in Hebrew, results; that is to say, אן or הן, the finished, corporeal being, און, founded, י, in me. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 137-138)

CHN The composition of this root is conceived in two ways, according to the first, the sign ח, which characterizes every effort, every difficult and painful action, being contracted with the onomatopetic root אן, image of pain, expressed the idea of prayer, a supplication, a grace to grant or granted: according to the second, the same sign, symbol of elementary existence, being united to that of individual and produced existence, becomes a sort of reinforcement of the root חן, and designates all proper and particular existences whether in time or space.

That which results from prayer; as grace, a favour; that which is exorable, which allows itself to relent; that which is element, merciful, full of pity: that which is easy, a good bargain, etc.

Every separate entrenched place: a cell, a hospice, a fort, a camp. Action of living apart, having one’s own residence, being fixed, intrenched, and consequently to besiege, to press the enemy, etc. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 352-353)

NK That which is injurious to existence, arrests, restrains, represses it.

A blow, a lesion; chastisement, torment: action of rebuking, chastising, treating harshly, punishing; bruising, striking, sacrificing; etc. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 401)
