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 sky · 08 sofa · 09 soap
Example story (make your own if this one doesn't stick): A jar of sauce drips onto a single seed, which the sun bakes until a sumo wrestler trips over it. Zorro slashes his Z, buries the seed in dark soil, then sits down to sushi beneath an open sky. Full and happy, he flops onto a sofa and scrubs his mask with soap.
