Recall the ten Major-System pegs for 10–19 — the /t/–/d/ decade. Can you name all ten in order and picture a story that links them?
Every 10s peg starts with the /t/ or /d/ sound (1); the second sound is the unit digit (0–9), so 10 = d·s = dice, 11 = t·t = tit, and so on.
10 dice · 11 tit · 12 tuna · 13 tomb · 14 tire · 15 tail · 16 DJ · 17 duck · 18 dove · 19 tub
Picture story (follow the scenes):
A gambler rolls dice and a tit bird pops out.
The dice land on a tomb as a tuna cracks it open.
A tire rolls from the tomb, a fox tail spinning on it.
The tire crashes the DJ deck; a duck rides the turntable.
A dove splashes into a bubbly tub, the duck bobbing.
Make your own if this one doesn't stick.
