Rashi, on Jer 51:52

“Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will visit her graven things, and in all her land the wounded shall groan:”

“the mortally wounded shall groan Heb. יאנק. The mortally wounded shall cry. When they kill a person with an arrow or with a spear, and he groans when they remove the spear, that is אנקה.”
