The fundamental Hebrew word for death is (mavet). When this is prefixed with the letter Aleph, we arrive at the verb emuth () meaning I will die. This differs from emet (truth) by the insertion of the vowel-letter Vav. Death and the definitive phrase "The Truth" are both subsumed in the same numerical category:

The Number 446	The Truth (, ha'emet)
	Death (, mavet)

The Bible declares:

Ps 33.4: the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth 

Ps 111.2: The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

The exact phrase written in the latter verse is:

The Works of the LORD (, Masah YHVH) = 446 

This mathematically integrates with the The Truth, in precise agreement with the verse just quoted:

The Truth (, HaEmet) = 446

The Truth () also is an anagram of (Mah Et) meaning "What is Aleph Tav?" The answer, therefore, is implicit within the question. 

Tav, as the Seal of Creation, relates back to Genesis when "God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made." This further integrates the Number 7 and the Number 22 which govern the geometric structure of the Word (7 canonical divisions distributed upon the Wheel of 22 Spokes.)

Endless echoes ring through these concepts of the Seventh Day, Rest, Death, and the Truth. They reflect the unutterable gravity of the Truth, Life, Death, and creative Work of the Lord God Almighty. They are worthy elements of much meditation.
