2 ka-tet
сущ.; SK, DTНесколько жизней, соединенные судьбой. Люди, входящие в ка-тет обретали дополнительные способности, например телепатические, возникающие между членами ка-тета.“Here is what I believe. If I had not entered Jack Mort when I did, he still wouldn’t have pushed Jake that day. Not then. Why not? Ka-tet. Simply that. For the first time since the last of the friends with whom I set forth on this quest died, I have found myself once again at the center of ka-tet.” / “Quartet?” Eddie asked doubtfully. / The gunslinger shook his head. “Ka—the word you think of as ‘destiny,’ Eddie, although the actual meaning is much more complex and hard to define, as is almost always the case with words of the High Speech. And tet, which means a group of people with the same interests and goals. We three are a tet, for instance. Ka-tet, is the place where many lives are joined by fate.” — Послушайте-ка, что я думаю. Даже если бы я тогда не вошел в сознание Джека Морта, он все равно не толкнул бы Джейка в тот день. В тот день – нет. Почему? Ка-тет. Очень просто. Впервые с тех пор, как погиб последний из друзей, пустившихся со мной в это странствие, я вновь обнаружил себя в центре ка-тета. / – Квартета? – с сомнением переспросил Эдди. … Стрелок помотал головой. / – Ка – слово, толкуемое тобою, Эдди, в значении “судьба”, хотя подлинный его смысл куда более сложен и трудно поддается определению, как почти всегда бывает с Высоким Слогом. И тет, что означает круг людей с общими интересами и целями. Например, мы трое – тет. Ка-тет – место, где судьба, фатум, сводит воедино множество жизней. (ТБ 3)
“YOU ARE KA-TET; ONE MADE FROM MANY. SO AM I. WHOSE KA-TET IS THE STRONGER IS SOMETHING WE MUST NOW PROVE.” — ВЫ – КА-ТЕТ ЕДИНСТВО ИЗ МНОЖЕСТВА. Я – ТОЖЕ. ТЕПЕРЬ НАМ ПРЕДСТОИТ ВЫЯСНИТЬ, КАКОЙ КА-ТЕТ СИЛЬНЕЕ. (слова Блейна, ТБ 4)
The brave little ka-tet they had made that night at the graveyard was broken, three of its members jailed and with not long to live (if they even were still alive), the last member lost and confused, as crazy with terror as a bird in a barn. — Храбрый ка-тет, созданный ими на кладбище, канул в небытие: три его члена сидели за решеткой, и жить им оставалось недолго (если их уже не убили), четвертый, остававшийся на свободе, совсем потерял голову, обезумел от ужаса, как залетевшая в сарай птица. (ТБ 4)
