tanu , pl. (in this sense apparently not recorded; Sheth cites taṇu = alpa, thoṛā, from Deśīn. 3.51 , a wrong reference; I have failed to find it in Deśīn. elsewhere), few (in number): ima ucyante ( ms. ucyate) tanubhyas tanutarāḥ Av ii.188.4 (prose), these are said to be fewer than few (= extremely few) . [In LV 243.3 , vs , read with v.l. tatu = tatas for text tanu; confirmed by Tib. der. ] See also s.v. Taru .
