Yes sir, the rear fuselage we referred to as part of the empennage. Terms, words, vernacular. . .can be a bit situational.

I always thought of the empennage as the parts of the tail that didn’t wiggle. from the diagram, it looks like Boeing made the part of the fuselage even with the middle of the wings, which I wouldn’t have considered empennage.
