	When people encounter the tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon and,
as sometimes occurs, remember only the begnning of the desired word, 
do they remember the first alphabetic letter or the first phonetic
syllable on average?  In the case of non-alphabetic character sets,
do people with this phenomenon recall only part of the written character,
or part of the word describing that character?
