No.  "{ty.}" does not have any {rafsi}, and it cannot be used as a {rafsi} for
itself.  In addition, according to the CLL, "{ty. bu}" is actually the name for
thorn, not T, which would be plain "{ty.}."  The proper way to make this
{lujvo} is with "{zei}": "{ty. zei creka}."

I'm not really sure what would be a good, non-{malglico} translation of
"T-shirt," though; the best I can come up with is "{torcreka}."
