If it had the meem in it then it would be, according to Thomas' definition, a
tamweem (I think - perhaps Thomas can define exactly what a tamweem is, is it
the tanween+iqlaab grapheme or the process of changing (=iqlaab) the nuun into
meem that everyone else calls iqlaab). But the meem is not
in the tanween in this example so it remains a tanween IMO.

It always means iqlaab (as far as I know, please correct me if anyone knows
better).
