Words cheokorchey, cheokaiim and cheokaiin
The words cheokorchey from page 68r1 and cheokaiim from 86v3 may be equivalent or, at least, related.

Considering rch as rh or simply r, I would read the first word as kionorhi9. 
The appropriate word would be γεωμορίας, gen sg/ acc pl of γεωμορία.
The second word, kionaur…, could be γεομωρ… for γεωμορ… and the words that would fit are γεωμορία and γεωμόρος.
These terms are related:

• γεωμορία, ἡ – portion of land, pl., farms, cultivated lands; = γεωργία – tillage, agriculture, farming; harvest; division of land;
  
• γεωμόρος = γημόρος – one who has a share of land, landowner; metaph. of Ἅιδης; =γεωργός – tilling the ground.
  

Certainly, it remains possible to read cheokaiim simply as cheokaiin, especially since it is preceded by daiin (daiin.cheokaii[@175;:m] ZL/ daiin.cheokaiim T), which can be τῶν, the article of the plural genitive.
The two words together would form taun chionaun for τῶν κῑόνων or τῶν χῑ̆όνων, for example:

• τῶν κῑόνων, pl fem gen of κίων – pillar; columnar gravestone; uvula; division of the nostrils, cartilage of the nose; kind of meteor; kind of wart;
  
• τῶν χιόνων, pl fem gen of χιών – snow.
  

The word cheokaiin is not new; it appears twice in the text.
