TANY, tany
Sounds Like: TA-noo
Translations: stretch, stretch out, extend, spread out
From the root: ΤΑΝΥΩ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word means to stretch, extend, or spread out. It is often used to describe the action of stretching something physically, like a hand or a tent, or extending something over a distance. In the provided examples, it appears in a participle form ('ΤΑΝΥΣΑΣ') meaning 'having stretched' or 'one who stretched', and also as a proper noun or part of a proper noun, which suggests it can also be a component of place names or personal names, or a very rare, possibly corrupted, form of a word. Given the context of the second example, 'ΤΑΝΥ' is most likely part of a proper noun, possibly a place name, rather than an inflected form of the verb 'ΤΑΝΥΩ'. However, the first example clearly uses a derivative of the verb.
Inflection: Present, Active, Infinitive (if verb); or part of a Proper Noun (if noun)
