tr.Wikt has an entry for this, which defines it as an ad (“name”) meaning "Güçlü bir kimsenin yasaya veya vicdana aykırı olarak başkasını uğrattığı kötü durum, zulüm". It also gets a lot of Google Books hits. Beşinci Milletler Arası Türkoloji Kongresi: İstanbul,... (1985) says "It is this permissiveness of the language which Yûsuf has put to use. kıyın, kıyn and kın 'punishment, torture, pain' are all common in Old Turkic texts. In the QB kıyın appears 5 times, ...". - -sche (discuss) 04:57, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

@Sae1962, Curious, Hirabutor: this word is used in a lot of books (google books:"kıyın"), but I don't speak Turkish — can you tell me what the word means? (Are the definitions that are in our entry right now correct/attested?) - -sche (discuss) 05:02, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the question. I updated the page.--Sae1962 (talk) 11:39, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

@Sae1962 Thanks for your comprehensive additions to the page! What does "public accent" mean? - -sche (discuss) 19:38, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, that was an imprecise translation of Google Translator for "colloquial".--Sae1962 (talk) 02:18, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

This is both the "third-person singular negative imperative of kıymamak (not to sacrifice)" and the "third-person singular imperative of kıymak (to sacrifice)"? Interesting! and confusing — I would have thought it would be important to have distinct ways of saying "sacrifice!" and "no, don't sacrifice!" lol. - -sche (discuss) 01:28, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

This ultimately led to the church schism between Catholics and Protestants. Equinox ◑ 01:40, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
