HolQeD 12:2, p. 7, "Maltz's Reward: Part I."  To begin to sing a song is to {lIH} (literally, "introduce") the song, and that portion of the song that comes at the beginning -- a portion that is often so familiar that listeners know what song it is after hearing just that short portion -- is the {namtun}.
