çene

See also: cene, cené, cène, Cène, and -cene

Turkish

Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish چكه‎ (çeŋe, “chin, jawbone”), from Proto-Turkic *čeŋe (“jaw”). Cognate with Chagatai [script needed] (čeŋe), Yakut сэҥийэ (seŋiye, “chin”). Unclear relationship to Persian (čâne, “chin”), according to Dybo, the Persian form doesn't have an Iranian etymology and rather developed under Turkic influence. Compare Persian (zanakh, “chin”) with regular Iranian etymology, which is supposedly cognate to čâne.
