In semantic relationships, if the body is the superordinate and the face is a hyponym, cheeks, mouth and nose are a _____?

Meronymy captures a part-of relationship. Cheeks, mouth, and nose are parts of the face, so they are meronyms of the face. The face is the whole in this pair, whereas a holonym would be the larger whole (like the body), and hyponym or synonym don’t describe a part-to-whole link.
