Was it probably pronounced "chichiuYe"?
Only in dialects where え was always pronounced [je] or dialects where
no one notices whether you pronounce it [e] or [je]. (These, of course,
still exist.)
If the word is old enough (my guess is it isn't), it would once have
been [titiuFe], and even more unlikelily older yet, [titiupe].
