Is there any web site that took a word a separe it into a list of tangible object.
I am trying to study using the method of Harry Lorayne, and everything is fine, until I have to try to thing in a way to associate words like Cytocinine, or tumefaciens, etc
Plus, do you have any tip to deal with this kind of issues?
It helps a great deal if you think about how the word is formed or its etymology. “Long complicated words” tend to be easier IMO. They are usually assembled from a string of pre/suffixes and stems - you can partly guess your way through.
“Antidisestablishmentarianism” is obviously a school of thought that stands against disestablishing something that’s established (Church Of England I think I dimly recall)-
Costco Acai frozen fruit bowls should be served with a trident shaped utensil. Someone pretentious commenting “A Kye? It’s pronounced A Sai. Give me that spoon here is a Sai.”
cyto- or -cyte comes from the Greek root that is used for cell.
kinin is for hormones. It’s related to “kinetic” or movement.
Cytokinin (“cell-kinetic”) is related to plant growth.
Other examples with cyto- or -cyte:
astro-cyte (star-cell, because it’s star shaped)
oligo-dendro-cyte (few-tree-cell or few-branch-cell, because it has few branches)
A quick search for the etymology of tumefaciens leads to a Latin dictionary:
From tumeō (“I swell”) + faciō (“I do, make”).
Tume- is related to “tumor”, and it looks like tumefaciens causes (makes) tumors on some kinds of plants.
Some Romance languages have words that are similar to faciō (like faço in Portuguese or fais in French), which could be a mnemonic link. In English, you could also create a link with the sound of the word “face” and link the meaning of “make” through a mnemonic image of “make-up”.
Another idea is to imagine a face on crown gall and then picture a tumor on it: “tumor-face” (tumefaciens) on crown gall.
You can read a word and then imagine an object by turning the first alphabet of a word that you want to remember into a Shaper system alphabet(By turning the first alphabet of a word into an object which looks like that alphabet) and then based on the meaning of the rest of the word you can create an image for that word and you can also use the knowlage given above for that,
For example- For
You can imagine a musical instrument shaped like t covered with tumeric,
And also this way of making images is fast and I hardly get stuck when coverting text and I think that I have slightly more than little practice with this way of making images and with this method I think that sometimes half of the work of makeing images is already done or maybe half the work is always done if the person using this method has their alphabet list fully memorized.
