  • tautologically → a tautology is a logical statement that is trivially true (i.e. which can never be falsified), or a redundant or vacuous statement
  • t–t– → stuttering, which in FW is always a sign of HCE's guilt
  • tau (ταυ): (Greek) nineteenth letter of the Greek alphabet, the letter T → tautau = TT → Tee the tootal in line 28
  • tautaulogically → in the first draft Joyce wrote, testamount to (i.e. tantamount to and testifies to, with an overtone also of Testament)
  • tautology: circular reasoning
