| I know that the term E-9th refers to the tuning and the way the steel is set up. But what are the 4th and 8th string E's the 9th of? |

E9th refers to the E9th chord, which contains the notes E G# B D and F#. All of those notes are present in the E9th tuning.
The 9th is the F#.

b0b is correct.
The term E9th does not mean the "E" note is a 9th note. It means it is the "signature" key note and designates not only the particular Key; but the root note of THAT key chord.
The 9 means it contains the notes that b0bby listed in his post.
Examples:
C7 would contain the following notes: C E G and Bb.
D9+5 would contain the following notes: D F# Bb, C and E.
and so on.
