Mnemonic Major System

Overview

* Each number is mapped with one or more consonants.
– If mapped to more than one consonants, these consonants sound the same phonetically.
* Vowels and w, h, y (why?) are ignored.
– Used as fillers to make words
* Double letters are treated as single

Number to Letters

0: z or s (z for zero, s sounds the similar to z)
1: d or t (both d and t have one stroke down and sound similar)
2: n (n has two strokes down)
3: m (m has three strokes down)
4: r (r looks like mirror image of 4)
5: l (L is roman numeral for 50)
6: j or sh or ch or g (j looks like mirror image of 6, soft sh and ch sound like j, g looks like 6 upside down)
7: k, c (k looks like two sevens stick together, c can sound like k)
