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
Example story (make your own if this one doesn't stick): You roll the dice and a little blue tit flutters down onto a giant tuna guarding an ancient tomb. A car tire rolls out and pins a fox's tail; a DJ spins nearby while a duck and a dove splash together in a bath tub.
