What it means
Open English WordNet defines lemmas, and tins is not one of them. The nearest lemma it does define is tin — a silvery malleable metallic element that resists corrosion; used in many alloys and to coat other metals to prevent corrosion; obtained chiefly from cassiterite where it occurs as tin oxide. The rule that found it is on the sources page; nothing here claims a grammatical relation.
