Definition & meaning
Taner is not a standard spelling of a Spanish word. It is most likely a misspelling of tañer , meaning to play a musical instrument or to ring bells.
It may also be a typo for tener , meaning to have or to possess.
Grammar & word origin
If the intended word is tañer , it is an infinitive verb ending in -er. Its stem is tañ-. The letter ñ is distinct from n in Spanish, so tañer and taner are not interchangeable spellings.
Tañer comes from Latin tangere, “to touch,” and developed the sense of producing sound by striking or playing something.
