1779: ToT Triggers Oct 28, 2019

It has been discussed here before how words "on the tip of one's tongue" may still be remembered to have a certain onset, for instance. The Tip of the Tongue (ToT) effect doesn't only include memory of the first letter; it also can include the number of syllables or prosodic accent pattern, as well as internal vowels. Vowels especially, as well as consonants in unaccented syllables, do not figure importantly into the ToT pattern though.
