The major system (also called the phonetic number system, phonetic mnemonic system, or Herigone’s mnemonic system) is a mnemonic technique used to help in memorizing numbers.
The system works by converting numbers into consonants, then into words by adding vowels. The system works on the principle that images can be remembered more easily than numbers.
The idea is to use a phonetical dictionnary like this one → ipa-dict
Associate with each sound a number (that’s where the customizable part is)
You can listen the sound of each symbols on IPA-Chart
And search for words that match the patern.
For example take 42, 4 is /r/ or /ɹ/ and 2 is /n/ with the IPA.
So now, we need to find the patern /rn/ or /ɹn/ with vowel before, between or after those 2 consonants in the dictionary.
in regex it would be something like `[<vowel>]*[rɹ][<vowel>]*n[<vowel>]*`
