köken: Inherited from Proto-Slavic *kľučь, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *kljaukjas, from Proto-Indo-European *klewk-yo-s, from *kle(h₂)uk-, an extended form of *(s)kleh₂w- (“hook, key, peg”), whence English clef and close.
köken: From *bašla- (“to begin sth.”), from Proto-Turkic *baĺč (“head; beginning”).

köken: Borrowed from Classical Persian چشمه (čašma, “spring, source; spectacles”), related to چشم (čašm, “eye”), itself ultimately from Proto-Indo-Iranian *čáćšma (“sight”). Related to Sanskrit चक्षु (cakṣu). Other borrowings from Persian are Assamese চছমা (sosoma), Bengali চশমা (cośma), Punjabi ਚਸ਼ਮਾ (caśmā), Gujarati ચશ્માં (caśmā̃), Marathi चष्मा (caṣmā).
köken: Inherited from Late Latin fontāna, from a substantivation of the adjective Latin fontānus, from fons. Developed phonologically in Romanian via assimilation from an earlier form *funtână (Attested in early 1900s Fărșerot Aromanian funtãnã). Compare to the more typical Aromanian fãntãnã, and also Sardinian fantana.
