Image inspiration for the syllable "d-igh-j", please?

Hi, this is the first in what may become an occasional series of “help Tom with some tricky syllables” posts, as I attempt to create my own ‘Alternative Katie’-style card system (see here: Adventures with a 2-card system).

I’m stuck on the syllable d-igh-j, which in my system can also be d-igh-ch or d-igh-sh. Thought it might be fun to crowd source it and see what comes out! :blush:

No suggestion too silly/weird/personal. I’m interested to see what goes on in your brains compared to mine! :grin:

That’s a good shout, I didn’t actually know what was his name (I’m more familiar with the UK version of The Office), but I certainly know his face and general character!

Ooh nice

or doesn’t go?

That work nicely for d-i-j but I need a separate one for d-igh-j

I don’t have a suggestion as this combination’s not in my system, but interesting that you chose ‘igh’ as one of your vowels, as it’s probably the trickiest one of all to find words that match, which is why I didn’t include it as one of my vowels for cards. Looks like you have no short ‘a’, which is one of the best.

Thanks Katie. When I posted this I was flirting with going back to something like your ‘alternative’ system but I’ve decided against that now. So you’re right, this is not a syllable I will need!

Out of interest though do you use igh and o vowel sounds when memorising 3-digit numbers?

Yes, these are the 8 and 4 middle digits in the Ben System

digest should work just fine.

which is just a magazine, like readers digest.

or use something like the digestive tract if you prefer that meaning/imagery.
