  • Ka-tet is a term in High Speech for a group of people drawn together by ka for a purpose. The gunslinger Roland Deschain describes ka-tet as being "one from many." Susannah Holmes derives an even simpler definition of the term: it is the notion of family. A tet often consists of several central individuals bound for a purpose, with additional individuals playing transitory roles and specific functions within the group. Another tet, with which Deschain, Allgood and Johns had a confrontation, was the group known as the Big Coffin Hunters, including Eldred Jonas, Roy Depape, and Clay Reynolds.

  • Ka-tet is a term in High Speech for a group of people drawn together by ka for a purpose. The gunslinger Roland Deschain describes ka-tet as being "one from many." Susannah Holmes derives an even simpler definition of the term: it is the notion of family. A tet often consists of several central individuals bound for a purpose, with additional individuals playing transitory roles and specific functions within the group. One of the most famous ka-tets is that of Deschain, Holmes, Eddie Dean, Jake Chambers, and Oy of Mid-world; to a lesser degree, Donald Callahan, Ted Brautigan, Dinky Earnshaw, and Patrick Danville contributed to the purpose of this group. Deschain formerly belonged to another long-ago tet that included Cuthbert Allgood, Alain Johns, and (for a time) Sheemie Ruiz and Susan Delgado. Another tet, with which Deschain, Allgood and Johns had a confrontation, was the group known as the Big Coffin Hunters, including Eldred Jonas, Roy Depape, and Clay Reynolds.
