In Against the Day , Pynchon is not bound by the "real lives" of his key 
characters, so he has space to develop each one in relation to the conditions of their experiences.

P.S. reading many AstroTheology web site pages, I found this;
Perhaps it could inform the ATD acronym T.W.I.T.?

However, the title David (from DWD or TWT, meaning "Beloved," - hence 
TUTankhamen) has been found to refer to the kings of the Egyptian Eighteenth 
Dynasty, that is, to the Cult of Aton.

Again, similar with URL:
The Biblical David, identified as Tuthmosis III (1490-1436 B.C.),
is derived from dwd in the Bible, which becomes twt, Tuth, in Egyptian.

Again, perhaps a page worth saving away: "Arabic Etymological Dictionary"
http://etymological.freeweb.hu/AEDweb.htm
tut : mulberry [Sem t-w-t, Mal tuta, Akk tuttu, Heb tut, JNA tutha]
Aze tut, Rom dud, Per tut, Ser dud, Tur dut borrowed from Ar


P.P.S.
Astrotheology also got me to surf "anselm, hebrew" and turned up this long but
fascinating web page from a book on common low: Perhaps esp. for Robin...?

Now the ancient Irish Celts and the (later) ancient Brythonic Celts themselves 
both derived from the same Proto-Celtic Gomer-ian and/or kindred Magog-ian stock 
– before settling in the British Isles. For ideologically, both were 'insulated 
Japhethites' of the coastlands and islands who long kept on dwelling in the 
tents of Shem.

Rev. Canon J.A. McCullogh of Skye in the Hebrides, in his scholarly article 
'Celts' (within the Hastings' Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics ), 62 remarks 
that the Celts had settled (probably during Neolithic times) between the 
headwaters of the Rhine, Elbe, and Danube – coming from the Crim-ea as the 
Gomer-ic Cimmer-ians. They became known to the Greeks as the Hyperboreans or 
'Far-Northern' people (regarded as dwelling in bliss).

No later than the third century, Cormac MacArt inscripturated 81 the extremely 
ancient Psalter of Tara . He also required all his fianna warriors to memorize 
twelve books of poetry. 82 Note: twelve books!

Ancient History Professor Nora Chadwick declares 126 that among the very first 
Celtic peoples, the inculcation of poetic inspiration and what she calls the 
mantic art were well developed and elaborated to an unparalleled degree. Thus, 
those Ancient Celts were quite unique as regards the preservation of original 
revelation and its predictions – and also as regards their endowment with a high 
measure of common grace with which to apprehend and to appreciate it.
