A note on this entry The 'serpent' sense is traditional and disputed; some read the name as 'basket' or 'clay'. Teth and nachash are different words, and the tradition's identification of the two serpents is a reading rather than a derivation.

Derivation Teth = 9, ordinal 9, reduced 9, no final form. Spelled in full, טית = 9+10+400 = 419. Meaning Teth is 'serpent', one of the twelve simples, and the tradition reads it as the good serpent — the one lifted on a pole in the wilderness — against the nachash of Eden. Its 9 closes the single digits, and it is also the reduced value of emet (441 → 9), the number the handlists call truth.
