Perhaps a little more of a context might be helpful.
Try the following URL :

If the word in question happens to be the Vth form perfect,  tafa33ala:
ta'annafa, then the root would be ANF, for which there are several
meanings.  Otherwise, if indeed Ta'nafah starts with a velarized T,
(Taa'), then I suspect the pattern is fa3lala, root T'NF (Taa', hamza,
nuun, faa'),
for which I have found no entries.

ta'annafa, then the root would be AN, for which there are several
meanings.  Otherwise, if indeed Ta'nafah starts with a valorized T,
(Tea'), then I suspect the pattern is fall, root TEN (Tea', hams, nun,
fax'),
for which I have found no entries.

If this is the verb conjugated with th third person sg. fem., I think it
means to look down at doing sth. and refrain from doing it. wa Llaaho
