While it is common to link rhyming nouns with numbers, that is by no means the only system.  There is also the major system, which connects sounds to numbers.<ref name="Moon">{{cite book|last1=Foer|first1=Joshua|title=Moonwalking with Einstein-The Art and Science of Remembering Everything|date=2011|publisher=the Penguin Group|location=New York, New York|isbn=978-1-59420-229-2|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780143120537}}</ref><ref name="USM">{{cite book|last1=Bremer|first1=Rod|title=The Manual - A guide to the Ultimate Study Method (USM)|publisher=Amazon Digital Services}}</ref> The major system is more complicated to learn than simple rhymes or alphabetic pegs, because it associates numbers 0-9 with a specific letter or sound, then larger numbers can combine to create words out of the sounds.<ref name="Moon" /> It is limitless in the number of pegs it can produce.  The most common association between numbers and letters is the following:<ref>{{cite web|last1=Cohen|first1=Josh|title=THE HISTORY AND EVOLUTION OF THE MAJOR SYSTEM FOR MEMORIZING NUMBERS|url=http://blog.artofmemory.com/history-of-the-major-system-1092.html|website=Art of Memory}}</ref>

*0 = s, x, z
*1 = t, d
*2 = n
*3 = m
*4 = r
*5 = l
*6 = sh, ch, j, soft g
*7 = c, k, hard g, q
*8 = f, v
*9 = p, b
