Definition
An archaic or dialect spelling of 'choke,' meaning to block the passage of air or to strangle.
Etymology
From Middle English choken, from Old English (ge)ceocan; the 'choak' spelling is a historical variant that persists in some regional dialects and historical documents.
Kelly Says
Old spellings like 'choak' show us that English was still figuring out how to spell sounds—even common words like 'choke' had multiple accepted versions in the 1600s, which would drive modern spell-check absolutely crazy!
