tongue tip
Lingual anterior point
The tongue tip is the foremost point of the tongue, used in speech to produce sounds like *t*, *d*, and *l* by touching the teeth or roof of the mouth.
In phrases like on the tip of my tongue, it refers to something almost but not quite remembered—hovering at the edge of retrieval.
