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.
