Adjectives as Helps

You have already found that some numbers of three digits cannot be made into a single word. Others that can be translated into words are sometimes difficult of visualization. To overcome these difficulties and to add greatly to the rapidity with which you can form large numbers, use adjectives for the first digits and the words of the Code list for the others. The combination is quickly made and easily recalled. You will find that in larger figures of six digits the idea works equally well.

1	Hot, Wet, White	6	Huge, Shy, Ashy
2	New or No	7	Sick, Gay, Weak
3	My or May	8	Heavy, Few, Wavy
4	Sour, Raw, Hairy	9	Happy or Webby
5	Low, Oily, Yellow	10	Dizzy

Select one of the adjectives for each digit and become familiar with it and use it continuously, unless another improves the sense materially.

165	Hot Jail	666	Shy Judge
263	New Jam	776	Weak Cage
333	My Mama	829	Heavy Knob
498	Hairy Beehive	993	Happy Bomb
568	Yellow Chief	1035	Dizzy Mail

The adjectives will be of great assistance as well in forming words for four digit numbers:

1149	Hot Trap	7195	Weak Table
2262	New Engine	8941	Heavy Bird

A few additional examples of adjectives will show how helpful this idea can be made:

12—Thin	21—Neat	72—Keen
13—Dim	32—Mean	77—Quick
14—Dear	46—Rich	82—Fine
15—Tall	58—Live	65—Jolly
16—Dutch	62—Shiny	97—Big

For practice translate the following by use of adjectives and Code words, where possible, or adjectives and three digit words.

932............	1932............	29595............
478............	2746............	32649............
531............	9127............	61492............
397............	1392............	45921............
729............	7146............	72952............
635............	6592............	15864............
