Work entirely by SOUND, remember it is the sound M in the word Make that has the value of 3, and if not =sounded= would have no value. Become familiar with these ten digit sounds so that when you see a digit you can immediately recall the sound. Then practice sounding words and telling the number value of each SOUND in the word. Pay no attention to the letters; only the sounds have value. The ten sounds alone will not form words, but will by adding the vowels A, E, I, O, U. The vowels have no figure value and can be used at any time and in any manner desired without altering the number value of the word. In the same manner we use the consonants W, H and Y. These have no figure value and with the vowels may be used to bind the digit sounds into words. A, E, I, O, U and W, H, Y Are Valueless For practice translate the following numerals into their corresponding sounds. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 3 6 5 8 3 2 8 0 5 3 6 8 7 4 2 8 5 1 7. In the same manner translate the following letters into their corresponding digit value. Remember the vowels and W, H, Y have no figure value. T N M R L J F P C E F H R K Y F R N L Y F W K N R T E O K L A Y E R P M U N P L T H F Y E R O M I N K O U N L P T R N W M F. Keep up this practice with both digits and letters until you can translate each without hesitation. Forming Number Words It is a simple matter to form a word for a figure by selecting the sounds which represent the digits and fill in vowels until the word is found. 14 is represented by the sounds T-R. Between the consonants T and R run the vowels a, e, i, o, u. Do this by sound and the result is TaR, TeaR, TiRe, ToR (tore), TuR (tour). In this way you have three or four words which will represent the number 14. 15 can be converted into TaiL, TiLe, TeLl, or TooL. 41 into the words RaT, RaTe, wRiTe, RooT, RuT. 91 into the words PaT, PeT, PiT, PoT, PuT. Make yourself thoroughly familiar with the Number Code. Master the ten digit sounds and you have the foundation with which to work. This is not a difficult problem. Children learn without difficulty the 26 letters of the alphabet and their many combinations. In this case there are but ten to be mastered and many combinations to choose from. A little practice will work wonders in the ability to use this Code. Change the following words into their figure value: PaN................ JaR................ NoTe............... RaiN............... CoaL............... TaN................ KiTe............... PiLe............... MoP................ RaKe............... PoP................ JaiL............... LaP................ TaNK............... PaiL............... LeTTeR............. PiNK............... PeaR............... Note the following translation of numbers into words. Do the last sets yourself, make others for practice in this idea:
