PIE-Aneqo&Genu-versus-Turkish-Yanak&Çene

From the book "Vergleichendes Wörterbuch der Indogermanischen Sprachen;by
Fick, August, 1890"





In many Languages these 2 words are similar.
The author, August Fick, forgot to write at least two Turkish words for that: "yanak", cheek in English and "çene" for chin.


 A List of all for a better comparison:


LanguageChinMouth (Cheek)

PIEeneqo, aneqogenus, geneva = Mouth *

OldTurkishiç-engek **yanggak, yingak** acc. to Tietze and Räsänen

We can see here clearly that the both words Chin and Cheek have to do with each other and they are similar in all languages in our comparison. The Turkish words are very similar to PIE words and that was my aim to show it. I think, I was successful.
