Recall the ten Major-System pegs for 00–09 — the /s/ decade. Can you name all ten in order and picture a story that links them?
Every 00s peg starts with the /s/ (or /z/) sound (0); the second sound is the unit digit (0–9), so 00 = s·s = sauce, 01 = s·d = seed, and so on.
00 sauce · 01 seed · 02 sun · 03 sumo · 04 Zorro · 05 soil · 06 sushi · 07 sack · 08 sofa · 09 soap
Picture story (follow the scenes):
Sauce drips over a giant seed baking in the sun.
A sumo wrestler trips over the seed.
Zorro slashes his Z into the soil to bury them.
Zorro eats sushi straight from a sack.
Zorro flops on a sofa and cleans his mask with soap.
Make your own if this one doesn't stick.
