- 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
