Where it comes from

Inherited from Prakrit चुणइ (cuṇaï, “pecks up”), a variant of चिणेइ (ciṇei, “to gather, collect”) perhaps from contamination with गुहइ (guhaï, “strings together”). Ultimately from Sanskrit चिनोति (cinoti, “arranges”). Doublet of चिनना (cinnā). Cognate with Gujarati ચુણવું (cuṇvũ) and Nepali चुन्नु (cunnu).
