The headword is the (masculine and) feminine accusative plural of the noun
tanu/pous; cf. generally LSJ s.v. The lemma is an epithet of the Erinyes, vengeful deities whose aid Ajax attempts to invoke at
Sophocles,
Ajax 837 (web address 1); cf.
alpha 632 (end). The entry is evidently generated by that passage, or its corresponding
scholia (vetera), which the end of the entry follows. [Bernhardy proposed singular
fhsi/,
he is saying, for the Suda's plural.]
For compounds with
tanu-, see also
tau 83,
tau 84,
tau 86,
tau 87, and
tau 89. [As Adler notes in her critical apparatus, the entry should follow
tau 86 in lexicographical order.]
[1] The headword is similarly glossed by
Hesychius s.v., which notes that the Erinyes'
vengeance is swift; cf.
Photius'
Lexicon (tau46 Theodoridis) and
Etymologicum Magnum 745.34 (Kallierges). On the Erinyes, see also
epsilon 2994,
epsilon 2995,
epsilon 3580,
epsilon 3581, and OCD(4) s.v.
