Recall the ten Major-System pegs for 30–39 — the /m/ decade. Can you name all ten in order and picture a story that links them?
Every 30s peg starts with the /m/ sound (3); the second sound is the unit digit (0–9), so 30 = m·s = mouse, 31 = m·th = moth, and so on.
30 mouse · 31 moth · 32 moon · 33 mummy · 34 mower · 35 mule · 36 match · 37 mug · 38 movie · 39 map
Picture story (follow the scenes):
A tiny mouse gazing up at a big fluttering moth.
A bandaged Egyptian mummy staggering under a glowing full moon.
A stubborn mule harnessed to a red lawn mower.
A lit match dropping into a big steaming mug of coffee.
An old film projector reel projecting a movie onto an old treasure map.
Make your own if this one doesn't stick.
