TNː (TNN) تنّ / تنن 
ID … • Sw – • BP – • APD … • © SG | 15Feb2021
√TNː (TNN) 
“root” 
▪ TNː (TNN)_1 ‘tuna (zool.)’ ↗tunn
▪ TNː (TNN)_2 ‘dragon’ ↗tinnīn
▪ TNː (TNN)_3 ‘tannin, tannic acid’ ↗tannīn
 
All three values attached to the root TNː (TNN) in Ar are loan words:
  • The words for ‘tuna (zool.)’ (tunn) and ‘dragon’ (tinnīn) may both go back, ultimately, to Hbr ↗tannīn ‘sea monster, big fish’, while
  • tannīn, for ‘tannin, tannic acid’, is clearly from a European lang (Engl, Fr).
