What does TENESI mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A small monetary subunit of the Turkmen manat, the currency of Turkmenistan.
A tenesi is a fractional unit of the manat, much as a cent relates to a dollar, though it plays only a minor role because inflation left it worth very little in ordinary transactions. The word entered English dictionaries mainly through currency reference lists and word-game dictionaries rather than everyday financial writing, since few English speakers deal with Turkmen coinage directly. It is closely related to the older spellings tenne and tenny for the same unit.
