Using base words 3 digit pegs with 0 in the beggining to help retrieve the rest of the numbers

Hey guys, i was just wondering if anyone has experience with learning a 3 digit system by using the base 3 digit numbers, such as 081 for seafood to help retrieve 681 ( shift, as in the keyboard key ). Lets say im phonetically trying to retrieve shft by repeteadly pronouncing the consonants until the key gets triggered. If that doesnt work, i resort to summoning 081 and making it intereract with 681 for it to trigger. Do you think that this would introduce an unnecesary latency delay later down the path?
