Recall the ten Major-System pegs for 50–59 — the /l/ decade. Can you name all ten in order and picture a story that links them?
Every 50s peg starts with the /l/ sound (5); the second sound is the unit digit (0–9), so 50 = l·s = lasso, 51 = l·t = latte, and so on.
50 lasso · 51 latte · 52 lion · 53 lamb · 54 lorry · 55 lily · 56 leech · 57 leg · 58 lava · 59 lip
Picture story (follow the scenes):
A cowboy twirling a lasso around a giant frothy latte.
A majestic lion gently nuzzling a fluffy white lamb.
A big cargo lorry driving past a pond full of white water lilies.
A slimy black leech stuck onto a muscular human leg.
Glowing molten orange lava beside a pair of glossy red lips.
Make your own if this one doesn't stick.
