Type of three-digit system to build?

I am wondering the type of three-digit system I should build (not conversion process!!!:upside_down_face:). I mean I’m wondering if I should create both Person and Object for each number so as to always transform a sequence of six digits to someone performing an action with an object

OR

I randomly assign people and objects singly to numbers so that any of these can occur for a six digit number: OO, OP,PO,PP. I believe this would lead to more interesting images than a predictable PO system not to mention that I will finish my system building and begin to drill it. I’m a bit scared of the time that may be needed to visualise a PP though which isn’t logical because I LOVE using people for concepts.

I would love your thoughts on this, maybe some analysis of the pros and cons of these different methods so as to make informed choices.

Thanks.

If I was a native english speaker and wanted a three digit system I would immediately start with the Ben system.

I feel like it is a lot more straightforward than any combination of persons, actions and objects.

I’m apologize-I’m late to the game on this one. What Ben System are you referring to and (briefly)how does it work?

The one that assigns vowel sounds to numbers as well, so each three digit number has a pronunciation. The English counterpart of the ZINA Major.:smiling_face:

Thanks for your response, I mentioned that I was looking for a list type to build, not a conversion process. I of course have a version of the Ben system adapted for Igbo language called ZINA Major​:smiling_face: but I don’t want to build a list based on only that​:upside_down_face:.
