drip, drop
滴 centers on a small amount of liquid falling or forming: a drip or a drop.
滴 combines 氵 (water) with 啇, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of a small unit, together suggesting a drop of water.
Water 氵 on the left and a shape like a small container 啇 on the right: imagine a tiny drop of water forming at the edge of a vessel.
For テキ, picture a single drop of water hitting a metal surface with a sharp 'tek' sound: tek -> テキ.
