They are glossed the same in your lexicon. What's the difference?
"Tanlom" is the anti-passive (allowing oblique patient) of "tam", "tanmom" is the anti-middle (disallowing oblique patient) of "tam".
Here is the original Latejami:
tegoma - say, utter, speak, state, declare, express. Use "tegoma" when the patient is known from context. Otherwise, use "tegosa". Note that use of "tegosa" also allows the patient to be expressed obliquely, as in "I said nothing TO THE CHILDREN".
