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

Example story (make your own if this one doesn't stick): A cowboy swings a lasso and ropes a steaming latte, then a roaring lion, who is nuzzling a gentle lamb. They all pile onto a lorry decorated with a white lily. A hungry leech clamps onto a bare leg just as lava starts to flow — so a giant lip leans in and blows it cool.
