The morpho-lexical type Tenne (also Tenn, Tenni; recorded as Denna, Den, Tänn, Tennen) is found in Bavarian and Alemannic dialects of the Alpine region. Within the crowd records, the meaning 'hay room, barn, threshing floor' is mentioned several times in the Bavarian language area, and occasionally also 'entrance to the stable barn, sheaf loft' or 'storage'. Even though there is hardly any documentation for the Alemannic area in the crowd records, the Idiotikon provides evidence for the existence of this morpho-lexical type in the Alemannic language area. The meanings 'place for threshing and cleaning the grain, feed alley in the cattle shed', but also 'floor' or 'dairy room' are attested (cf. Idiotikon under Tänn). In the DWB the meanings 'leveled ground inside or outside the barn serving as threshing floor', 'barn', 'hallway, house corridor, house threshing floor' or 'ground, place, area in general' are given for the lexeme Tenne. The origin is probably Indo-European, since in san. the word dhan has the meaning 'to beat' or 'place where beating, threshing takes place' (cf. DWB under Tenne).
