It means "to smear with oil or grease", "to dress" (food with oil), "add oil."

In Exodus 30:27, the Vulgate translates the
Hebrew as et ungues ex eo tabernaculum testimonii
et arcam testament which is translated into English
as, "And you shall anoint the tabernacle of the
congregation and the ark of the testimony with it."
I've tried looking on Perseus to read up on the verb
ungues, but to no avail. It says it is a noun having some
sort of association with a "nail." Now, I'm sure that
it does have that meaning in Latin, but my question is,
why does Perseus only list that one meaning and say
nothing about the meaning of "anoint."
Is there another verb I should be searching for instead of
"u-n-g-u-e-s"?
Thank you.
